We officially stopped accepting scanned applications on 31 December 2020. However, if your client isn’t able to use our digital signature option, is shielding or otherwise unable to sign a postal instruction, we’ll continue to accept scanned applications. This a temporary arrangement in recognition of the current challenges presented by Covid-19 and is subject to regular review.
Please remember the following when sending us scanned applications:
- Scanned applications are sent at your own risk. We strongly recommend sending them encrypted and/or with a protected password that has either been agreed with us previously, or has been provided to us via a separate communication method to email.
- We reserve the right to reject an application if it isn’t sent as a single combined PDF document – please do not send individually scanned pages.
