Providing Contact Information

Some services require you to provide contact information, and some require you to review existing information and update and add to it as needed.

Some services require information for multiple types of contacts. When you access the Contacts page, the required contact types are displayed on separate tabs.

1. On the first tab, enter or update the contact information for that contact type. If an asterisk (*) is present, you must enter that information.

   To save time, you can insert contact information from contacts that have already been saved. Click the Insert from Existing Contact drop-down list and select an option. (To save the information from the current contact as a favorite contact in your user profile, click Save To Favorite Contacts.)

2. To add a contact number, click Add Number. You must enter at least one contact number per contact type.
3. From the Type list, select the type of number you are adding.
4. In the Contact Number text box, type the 10-digit number. Do not enter dashes or spaces between numbers.
5. If desired, enter the extension and add any comments.
6. Click Save.
7. Repeat steps 2–6 for additional contact numbers you want to add.
8. To continue to the next contact type tab, click Next and repeat steps 1–7.

9. To add a contact type, click the Available Contact Types drop-down list, select an option, and click Add Contact.

   Some services have optional contacts, which are not displayed by default, and some allow you to add multiple contacts of the same type.

10. When you have added contact information for all the contact type tabs, click Continue.

A copy of record of the application will be emailed to the person submitting the application, and depending on your service, may be emailed to contacts you have identified in the submittal.
