How to prepare an application through MOS

This guide organises the topic “How to prepare an application through MOS”: documents, deadlines, common risks and checks to make before contacting the authority.

Key context

Help with an account, form and attachments in the official MOS portal, including what can be done online and what requires personal action.

An adult applicant must personally sign and perform legally required personal acts. A representative cannot replace the client for fingerprints or other personal steps.

Establish the legal basis first

Do not begin with the form. First check current status, objective, competent authority and deadline.

Prepare consistent evidence

Details in the form, passport, contract, attachments and previous correspondence should be current and consistent.

Track service

Keep posting and receipt evidence. Valid service often starts a procedural deadline.

Follow up after filing

Monitor correspondence, answer requests and notify the authority where the law requires it.
