    Gather application evidence for the responsible service

    Privately agree existing official decisions and current medical records with the Social Ministry Service; existing decision does not automatically exclude a specific evidence request. The Social Ministry Service lists report and residence record copies. Reports generally no older than two years, individual exceptions; do not universally obtain a new paid assessment. Register photo lookup first, photo only according to actual request.

  3. 3Wait for the answerYou have already handed in the application. Now you wait for the answer.Key step

    An application does not yet mean you get the pass. By asking, you know how far it is.
    What you do
    Ask the office in charge. Give your reference, that is the number of your application. Do not apply again just because the answer takes time.

    Track enquiries and the decision

    Privately use existing application, reference and already responsible service. Clarify actual processing stage; no second application or all first-application records solely due to pending reply. Submission means no issued pass yet.
