DCMS Tip Sheet Volume 1 Edition 13 Submitted vs Received Applications

January 3, 2020

Have you wondered what the difference is between a submitted and received application? This Tip Sheet will help to clear that up.

Application are submitted in two steps:

1. You submit your application fee, then
2. You submit your application

Both steps must be completed for your application to be visible for review. When you have done this successfully, you will receive a system generated email confirming your application’s submission.

This is the first step to submitting your application

 

This is the second step of submitting your application

Your submitted application will go through the initial Intake Review.

During this time, your documents are reviewed for the following:

1. To see if information is missing or has gone stale (older than 30 days)
2. To ensure the correct CPA financials are attached
3. To Ensure the correct fee was paid based on your gross revenues
   a.  If the incorrect fee was paid the additional payment will have to be made via check or money order and mailed to DCAMM

If your application is returned to you during the intake review, it must be resubmitted with the required information as soon as possible. Until then, your application will not be assigned to a compliance officer. (This is a repeat of second step to submitting your application)
