Tips and common mistakes

Read the notification before you open the form

The official notification gives the photo and signature size, the file formats, the fee and the last date. Prepare your files to those limits first so you do not have to hurry on the form.

Common mistakes

Entering your name differently from your certificates, leaving the form for the last day, and not saving the fee receipt and a printout of the final form. Keep all three.
