  2. Complete the form and ensure your countersignature details are completed and correct (ANY MISSING EVIDENCE WILL RESULT IN YOUR APPLICATION BEING REJECTED)
  3. Put all the documents; signed declaration form. Original birth certificate, birth certificate form completed and the evidence return form in an envelope and post to: Advanced Learner Loan, PO BOX 302, Darlington, DL1 9NQ
