This service should not be used to complete procedures that can be arranged through a specific procedure in the e-Office. If so, the procedure filed may be classed as ineffective and deemed invalid.

Please use the Attach Form section to attach the completed form. See forms.

Forms submitted online qualify for an application fee discount.

To file a Form for Other Procedures, proceed as follows:

1. Enter the information requested in the general form, indicating the specific procedure you wish to file for.

2. To use the electronic signature, you must allow the signature applet to be installed on your PC by the application.
