Prepare the documents for internal processing

Documents are processed according to internal policies and procedures and compared against your organization's document requirements.

For internal procedures:

• Create an applicant file, consisting of a:
• paper-based process; and/or
• digitized process.
• Sort documents by type, for:
• processing; and
• assignment to an employee responsible for the assessment.
• Digitize copies of all documents received, for electronic storage (if applicable);
• Compare your organization's document requirements against the assessment application package received:
• identify missing documents as well as any justification to explain why the package is incomplete (if applicable).
• Confirm, through an initial quick screening, the essential demographic information in the documents, such as:
• name (current and previous);
• date of birth;
• country of birth;
• postal address (current and previous, when available).
• Confirm, through an initial quick screening, whether the documents were issued by the appropriate authority.
