Determining an application made through the attestation process
Determining an application made through the attestation process
If you have answered yes to all three of the conditions for an attestation to be valid and therefore successfully established the identity of the applicant, you should determine the application provided they have satisfied the other eligibility criteria for registration.
If the answer is no to one or more of the questions, then the application is not valid and the applicant cannot be registered. The applicant should be told that they must seek an attestation from another source, otherwise their application will be rejected. You may wish to set a deadline date for this.
For information on the document retention period for documents received as part of an application, including under the attestation process, and for more information on document retention policies see our guidance on document retention.
