Your file for our firm

You

1. Copy your name as on the passport: family name, then all given names.
2. Choose your marital status today. Married or common-law? Seven screens about your spouse are added.
3. Give a WhatsApp number: that is how we write to you.

Your addresses

1. One row per address. Start with the one from ten years ago, then work up to today.
2. For today's address, tick “until today”.
3. Exact day forgotten? Use the 1st of the month. Each address starts where the previous one ends.

Never moved? One row. At your parents' or abroad: that is an address.

Your activities

1. One row per period, from the oldest to today: Employment, Studies, Unemployed or Other.
2. In “Details”: the position and the employer. Unemployed: what you were doing.
3. Studies adds three questions: level, school, qualification. High school counts. Not finished? Write “in progress”.
4. Still the case today? Tick “until today”. Studying and working at once: two rows, that is allowed.

Your education

1. One row per institution, from the oldest to the most recent: middle school, high school, university, vocational training.
2. The studies you have just listed under “Your activities” go here too: it is the complete list that counts.
3. Still studying? Tick “until today”. No qualification obtained? Write “none”.

Your trips abroad

1. Every stay outside your country counts, even two days: tourism, business, family, studies, pilgrimage.
2. Open your passport: the stamps give you the dates.
3. Never left the country in ten years? Tick the box below.

Your family

1. Father and mother first (their rows are ready), then brothers, sisters, half-brothers and half-sisters.
2. For each: name, date of birth, city and country where they live.
3. Deceased? Tick the box, give the date and their last city.
4. No longer in touch? Give the last known city, and tell us on WhatsApp.

The principal applicant's parents and siblings

Father and mother are required. Then add brothers and sisters, even if they live elsewhere.

Your spouse and their family

Your spouse's addresses

1. One row per address where your spouse lived, from the oldest to today.
