# How do I correct my application or start a new one?

## What to do depends on where you are in the process.

Need to change something on your application? No problem. Here's what to do at each stage.

### Before you submit

You can correct your own details, including your lease details, before you submit your application.

### After you submit, before your policy is issued

You can't edit a submitted application yourself, but we can update it for you. Email [support@padder.com](mailto:support@padder.com) with your full name, the building address and what needs correcting.

If our underwriting team needs updated or more documents, they'll email you with exactly what's required.

### Your application was paused or withdrawn

- **Reactivate it yourself.** Open the email we sent about your application and select **Reactivate my application**. You'll pick up where you left off.
- **Approved but didn't finish checkout?** If checkout isn't completed within 7 days, your application is paused, but your quote stays valid for 30 days from approval. Use **Reactivate my application** in your email to finish checkout. If your checkout is still open, sign in at padder.com and open your application to go straight to the checkout page.
- **Quote expired?** Email [support@padder.com](mailto:support@padder.com). We'll reopen your application once you've reconfirmed your lease details.
- **Can't find the email?** Email [support@padder.com](mailto:support@padder.com) and we'll help.

### You need to start a new application

Your email address is linked to any application you've already started, so you may not be able to start a new one with the same email until we've updated it. Email [support@padder.com](mailto:support@padder.com) first:

- **New or updated details:** we'll archive your previous application so you can start fresh with the same email address.
- **A different unit or building:** this also means starting a new application. See *Reapplying after a decline or expiry*.
- **Not sure which applies?** Ask us and we'll point you the right way.

### Your policy has already been issued

- **Small administrative fixes,** such as a misspelled name, a wrong unit number or an incorrect date, are easy to correct. Let us know and we'll issue a corrected document (an administrative endorsement) for your records. There's nothing you need to sign or do.
- **Bigger changes,** such as changing your move-in date, adding or removing a co-tenant, or moving your coverage to a different unit, follow a separate process. Contact us and we'll guide you through it.

The fastest way to sort out any of this is to email [support@padder.com](mailto:support@padder.com).
