Request to expedite application

We understand that sometimes life brings changes and you may face situations that you cannot predict. If you send us a request to expedite your application, we will assess whether we can do so.

Processing of requests

We read and process each request to expedite application. In order to process all applications as fast as possible, we can rarely speed up the processing of an application.

We will not expedite the processing of an application if the reason for the request is any of the following:

  • moving
  • studies
  • a trip or a family visit abroad
  • the expiry of a travel document or a residence permit
  • desire to carry out military service

How to send a request to expedite application

If you request that we speed up the processing of your application, send us your request by letter or as encrypted email. We will only process written requests. Make sure you include

  • your name
  • your customer number
  • your date of birth or personal identity code
  • the grounds for expedited processing.

Attach a certificate or other document supporting your request. We will reply to your request once it has been processed.

Please notice that inquiries and visits to a service point do not speed up the processing of your application 

We will contact you if we need additional information for your application. Otherwise, we will not contact you before the decision is made.

In many cases, you can follow the processing of your application with the automated messages.
