What is a renewal application?

When an Initial Application is approved it automatically produces a Renewal Application in Binti.

This Renewal Application will not house any documents from the Initial Application in the traditional place, [Actions > Documents].

Instead the documents from this Initial Application live in Actions > Applicant Data > scroll down to “Other Applications for this family and click on the “View Documents” link under “Application Type – Initial.” 

Alternatively, you can also access the documents through - Actions > Documents > "Documents for previous applications"

I just approved a renewal, but it still appears under "In Renewal Process" in the Applications Dashboard.

When a renewal application is approved, a new renewal application is automatically generated immediately after the approval.

Please check the newest renewal's Application History to confirm whether this could be the new renewal application that generated after the approval.

You can review Application history by going into Actions > Applicant Data > scroll down to Application History and look for the phrase "Created via spawned_from_renewal" (this means that this application generated off of an approved renewal application).

The date in the "Date Changed" column in that same row should read the date that the previous application was approved. That's how you'll know that this is a NEW renewal application, and different from the one that you've just approved.

I need to change the Renewal Due Date in the Application Dashboard.

When a renewal application is approved, a new renewal application is automatically generated immediately after the approval, and is usually set with a Renewal Due Date for one or two years later. If you need to change the Renewal Due Date follow the process below.

1) Ensure that you have the permission "Can Change Application Status" enabled on your account. If you do not have this permission ask your supervisor or someone who has this permission to follow the steps below.

2) Go to Edit Application of the Application you desire to change the Renewal Due Date in.

3) Locate "Due date of current application" in the Application Data box.

4) Change to desired date and click the blue Update Application button at the bottom of the page.
