How do I provide my documents?

Attach your documents to your application

You will need to attach the supporting evidence to your online application before you submit it to us.

Please attach PDF copies of your evidence to the Your Documents section of your application.

Use the individual evidence sections as a checklist and attach each document to the correct section. You can attach multiple documents to a single evidence section.

Where an evidence section is not applicable to you, or where it is being sent to us directly by a third party, select the relevant evidence status for that section and provide a reason why you are not attaching that evidence item in the description box.

What happens after I’ve sent my documents?

Once you submit your application, we’ll complete a full assessment of it. This will usually take place within five working days. We’ll contact you if we need more evidence or information to support your application.

You cannot edit your online application after you submit it, so you should attach all your documents to your application before you submit it to us. If we require additional documents after your application has been submitted, these will be requested by email, and we will assess your application again when we have received them. This will delay the processing of your application.
