Paper Forms

1 . but if you'd prefer to use the paper forms, you can still access them. However, please note that many authorities are working remotely and managing high volumes of applications. For these reasons, many are steering applicants to submit their applications online. If you still wish to submit an application to your authority by post or email, there will likely be a delay in your local authority processing it compared to submitting it online
