Catch common preparation mistakes

Review the three points that matter for your case. This is a self-check, not document validation or an eligibility decision.

I selected the correct provincial or transport office portal.
I checked current quota, biometric and test instructions for that office.
I will keep application and appointment confirmations from the official service.
