Additional Information

If the applicant encounters difficulties or is uncertain as to which ARFs are required, the Service Desk can escalate an incident to the Data Access and Provisioning team.

The process described in this article was implemented November of 2013 and replaced the old process in which the applicant supplied multiple pages via fax to Data Security.

Note: Some access requires two-factor authentication. This was previously fulfilled via M Key authentication but has now been replaced by Duo Authentication. Please see Setup and Use Duo Security for more information about Duo.
