Please find below the documents required to apply for your Access NI – please note that these are the only forms that are accepted
- ANI Declaration and Application Form
- Parent/Carer Consent Form (under 18 only)
- How to complete an Access NI application
To ensure that applications are completed correctly, we have listed below what must be submitted.
-
-
All middle names must be included.
-
The Organisation Reference is the person’s Swim Ireland Membership Number.
-
Names on the application must match the documents used for identification.
-
The application is valid for 21 days. If the forms and documents are not received within the 21 days, the application is invalid.
-
Documents to be submitted to Swim Ulster:
-
-
Section 1 – Swim Ulster must receive the signed and dated declaration.
-
Section 2 – The Swim Ireland membership number of the applicant, their club, and the role they are undertaking must be included. Putting “swimmer” or “parent” is not a regulated role, is not accepted by Accessni, and therefore the application cannot be processed.
-
Section 3 – Identity Validation. The original documents must be seen by the club officer signing the form. If a PSNI Officer, Solicitor or Doctor is signing the form, they must also stamp it with their company stamp.
-
One document must show the current address of the applicant.
-
If a driver’s licence is one of the documents, then both parts must be shown and this counts as one document – either the paper part or a photo of both sides of the newer licences.
-
Copies of the forms and documents must be clear and legible.
-
The process is delayed if the forms are not completed correctly, are unsigned by official personnel, or some documents are missing.
