Written Applications

We understand that some people would prefer to make a written application on a paper form and post it to us. This is possible, but please note the following points before you proceed:

  • The turnaround time for a paper application is longer than an online application
  • A £10 +VAT administration fee is charged for ALL paper applications
  • You can ONLY pay for paper applications by ringing the office during office hours to pay using a debit card 
  • We cannot process your application until payment has been received 
  • Your application will not be visible in our tracking systems or your MyECS account untill we have scanned and started to work on it
  • Please make sure you put a return address on the back of the envolope you use for your application
  • You must put the correct postage fee on your envelope before your application is posted to us, or it will be returned to you by your chosen postal service 

If you would like to submit a written application, please contact the ECS team on 01322 661622 to arrange for a paper application form to be posted to you.
