Obtain referee details from applicant/agent

A task can be created for an applicant or agent to provide referee details when creating a clearance check.

• The task includes task details which can be used to provide specific instructions to the applicant or agent.

• The applicant or agent can provide personal and contact details for the referee as requested via the applicant portal on the Application details page.

• Applicants or agents must provide consent to contact the referee to submit the referee's details.

• Applicants or agents can view details submitted in the Referee section on the Application details page.

• Applications can have up to three active referee or reference records. These are indicated by Current and are specific to a Statement type, such as 1, 2 or 3. Any other records are marked as Historic.

• When an applicant provides details, if a record with that Statement type already exists, the new record becomes Current and the previous record becomes Historic.
