Before you begin

Pre-consultation comes first

The secretariat reviews your documents before you pay. Most delays are missing documents, not slow decisions.

Applications are considered in sittings

Files are assessed by the Board of Registration at its sittings. An incomplete application usually waits for the next sitting.
