Email notification concerning deletion of documents

Your application will remain incomplete until you have:

1. filled out and submitted the application form
2. paid the application fee (if applicable) and
3. uploaded and submitted supporting documents for your application

You received the email because you have not completed the third step (uploading and submitting supporting documents for your application).

For privacy reasons, UDI is not allowed to store documents you have uploaded for more than 90 days after the date you submitted your application form. Therefore, we will delete your supporting documents soon unless you submit the remaining documentation.

Once you receive notification of upcoming deletion, you have seven (7) days to submit your documents. Submit your documents together with your application to UDI, and your application will be processed.

How to complete your application:

1. Log in to the website ‘My applications (external website)’ using your electronic ID.
2. Find your application under the heading, ‘Submitted applications’.
3. Click on the button, ‘Go to application’.
4. Upload any missing documents or answer, ‘I do not have this document’/’Not relevant’ for the documents you do not have.

Click the green button, ‘Submit these documents’, at the bottom of the page.

We have submitted your application form without any documents. This means that your application form is now ready to be processed. If you uploaded one or more documents for the application form, they have been deleted.

In other words, the application you submitted to UDI is incomplete. We have not received the documents we need to process your application. Below are instructions on what to do next, depending on what you have applied for.
