It is essential to be previously registered on the Saime platform, have an active email account and enter the information requested there. Each citizen must have their identity card on hand for this process. And you will be asked for a valid telephone number to establish all communication in the event of any difficulty.

• Fill in the form with full name, telephone number; answer security questions and add a password.
