Can you clarify: once I submit the form, will any detail (like email) ever be changeable, or is it locked forever?
it can be changed, but you should try and be sure of the email you are using. it must be same with your portal email address
Very useful breakdown. Wish I saw this earlier — saved me from messing up my registration.
Check our website for that
Thanks for your kind words doc
Thanks for this — I followed it to the letter and the portal accepted my registration on first try.
After registration, what’s the next step? Will you do an article on that too? 😊
