Three steps.

  1. 1

    You answer the questionnaire and upload your documents; your client area tells you what is missing.

  2. 2

    The LIORMA team completes the Régie's official forms; the lawyer reviews and signs; you approve.

  3. 3

    We submit the file to the Régie by power of attorney, you pay the duties directly, and we follow each exchange until the decision.

You follow each step in your client area. The LIORMA team prepares; the lawyer advises, validates and signs. No decision concerning you is made without human review.
