Complete a Verification Statement or Declaration of Intent

Some CASs allow applicants to request a Declaration of Intent or Verification Statement from DPD Directors in Liaison Letters.

If the applicant's DPD program is still in-progress, you must answer every question in the Declaration of Intent section and complete the Signature section.
If the applicant's DPD program is completed, you only need to answer the Verification Statement question and complete the Signature section.

If you receive a request to complete and submit a Declaration of Intent or Verification Statement, review the steps below.

Locate Declaration of Intent and Verification Statement Requests

All your Declaration of Intent and Verification Statement requests appear on the Requests page. If you receive recommendation requests, they are listed here as well. You can view what each type of request is under the Type field.

Use the filters on the left to sort the requests and view more or less of their details. Requests are categorized and color-coded by current status:

Accepted: an orange status indicates that you accepted the applicant's request. Your next step is to complete it.
Requested: a yellow status indicates a new request that you have not yet accepted. Your next step is to accept it.
Completed: a green status indicates that you submitted the applicant's Declaration of Intent or Verification Statement. No further action is needed, but you can review your submission(s).
Declined: a purple status indicates that you declined the applicant's request.
Expired: a grey status indicates that the applicant's request has expired.
