Check the status of your application

After 24 hours you will be able to check the status of your application using one of the methods below.

Please Note:
If you do not wait 24 hours you may not see your registration. This does not mean you are not registered. It may simply mean that your registration has not been processed yet. Registering more than once will result in a delay of your application.
