Step 1

Finalize Your Application

Print out your application and take a close look at it. Make sure the information is correct and accurate, and you didn’t miss anything. Notice that the sections of the form are numbered.

In section 1, circle(with a pen) either “Previous”, “Alternative” or “Contents”, if this was registered under a previous title.If it all looks good, sign the Application(with a pen) in section 8. Pretty easy so far right?
