Transfer of Applications

Instances where UWA may transfer an application to amend personal information to another agency are:

• UWA does not have the document that contains the disputed information but knows that another agency does; or
• UWA does hold the document, but the document originated from another agency and is more closely related to the functions of that  agency.

UWA will notify the applicant of the transfer without delay. Also, the prescribed 30 day period to process the amendment application will still apply from the date a valid application was received despite the transfer to another agency for processing.
