Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if she will make an assessment of the potential merits of introducing an Application Checklist in order to ensure the applicant has submitted all the correct information.

The online application forms currently generate a document checklist for the applicant to download at the end of their application form. This is also displayed at the end of the form after they have answered all of the questions. This checklist uses the answers entered in the form to establish the necessary documentation that an applicant needs to provide.

The paper application forms have an application checklist with a list of the documentation an applicant needs to provide at the end of the application form.
