The process below is referred to as the Dual Stage emergency application, where you create the initial emergency application then amend to substantive at a later date.
NOTE: Using the dual stage process means you will have a period where further emergency amendments can be made once the initial emergency certificate has been granted, as opposed to the single stage emergency process which does not have this function. To amend an emergency certificate, the certificate must have a status of granted and you should select emergency as the amendment type.
If you wish to amend an emergency certificate that has not been processed by the LAA you should contact the Customer Service Team and ask them to reject the application, you will then be able to make the necessary amendments before resubmitting.
