A. DEFINITION
An application is a formal request to a competent body.
B. STRUCTURE
1. Applicant’s personal details
Provide your name, family name, identity document type and number, and postal address. If relevant, provide further information such as telephone number, e-mail address, and date and place of birth. If you are making the application on behalf of another person, include both your personal details and those of the person you are representing. We strongly recommend, however, that only one variant of English be used within a single text or related series of texts, for obvious reasons of coherence.
2. Declaration
In this section, give the reasons for the application. Introduce it with the expression I declare in bold, capital letters and followed by a colon, and write each statement on a new line beginning with a capital letter and ending with a full stop. If there are two statements or more, number them.
3. Application
This section states the object of the application. Begin with the expression I request in bold, capital letters and followed by a colon, and write any following statements on a new line beginning with a capital letter and ending with a full stop. If there are two statements or more, number them.
4. Supporting documents
If any documentary evidence is required, or it is in your interests to include it, list the documents you attach.
5. Signature
Sign the document. There is no need to print your name and surname because they have already been provided at the beginning.
6. Place and date
After the signature, write the name of the town or city in which the application has been made and the date.

At the foot of the page, put the name of the unit and institution to which it is addressed.
