When an application is rejected, the agent will receive a letter confirming the reason for rejection. If the application was created on LRS and processed through eFin, the letter will also contain details of the UID number(s) to which the original payment applies. The fee is retained by Finance for a limited period of time. If the application is represented and the fee has not been refunded by Finance, the funds can be allocated to the new application created on LRS. The represented application must be accompanied by a copy of the rejection letter providing the details of the UID number(s).

Process Steps

9.2 If Finance have been contacted and a response has been received note any instructions provided by Finance.

9.2.1 If the fee retained by Finance is greater than the fee required in respect of the application(s) undergoing registration, the Dummy cheque - UID Number Exists process should be followed.

9.2.2 If the fee retained by Finance is the same as the fee required in respect of the application(s) undergoing registration, the following process should be followed to amend the UID number(s).
