Five common mistakes that delay your transaction

Many delays are preventable. A careful review before submitting is often faster than correcting a returned request afterwards.

1. Submitting an incomplete file

Use a checklist and collect every required document before you begin. A missing item can restart the review process.

2. Leaving inconsistent details

Check names, identification numbers, dates, and business information across all documents. Small discrepancies can require clarification or correction.

3. Following the wrong order

Some services depend on an earlier registration or license. Confirm the sequence before paying fees or submitting a request.

4. Using an unclear authorization

If another person will act for you, ensure the authorization is valid and specific enough for the required procedure.

5. Waiting too long to follow up

Keep a record of the request and respond promptly when an authority asks for additional information.
