Preparing and requesting manual TA certification of a submitted e-survey
When a TA cannot perform online certification they will send you a paper TA certification. Any TA certifications required for an e-survey must be attached as supporting documents.
To attach a TA certification:
- Scan the TA certification.
- Attach the image as a supporting document to the e-survey. Select Territorial Authority (TA) Certificate as the Document Type.
