Choose a removal route when you cannot print a form

Find out what the form requirement is

1. Read the official instructions for that sender or program and note exactly what they say about forms and signatures.
2. If a form is required, ask whether the sender can mail you a printed copy or offers help completing it by phone. Follow the method it gives you.
3. If no form is required, choose from the routes the sender lists, such as a phone line, a web form on a library computer or a letter.
4. For a handwritten letter, include the sender name, the name and address as printed on the mailing label, and the one change you want.
5. Record the route you used, the date and any reference number or confirmation the sender provides.

If the instructions are unclear

Some instructions mention a form without saying whether it is the only option. In that case, ask before you go looking for a printer. A signed form accepted by one program does not show what another sender accepts, so check each one separately.

If the sender offers no answer and no listed route, note that on your sheet and treat it as a sender without a clear removal route rather than guessing at a method.

Send the question in the channel you have

Use the question list below in a call, a web form or a short letter to one sender. Whatever the reply, write down the method it names. That method is the route for your actual request.
