Rectification may be requested by any person against whom a decision is addressed or whose rights, obligations or interests are directly affected by the decision. A proxy representative can be used in making
a rectification request.
The rectification request must include the following:
- the decision to which rectification is requested
- the applicant’s claim(s)
- justification for the claim(s)
- name, postal address, e-mail address and phone number of the person requesting rectification
- attached a certificate or proof of the date on which the decision was served
- attached the documents that the applicant wishes to invoke
If a proxy representative is used, the name and contact details of the proxy representative as well as the power of attorney issued by the person requesting rectification must also be provided.
The e-notification of the decision requires the consent of the person concerned. E-notification means that the decision can be sent by email to the person who submitted the rectification request. Without consent
to e-services, the decision will be sent by post. The procedure can be speeded up if the person submitting the rectification request states already when submitting the rectification request that they consent to e-services.
