Identification of the applicant

 

The applicant is sufficiently identified whenever it is possible to establish the identity of the applicant beyond reasonable doubt on the basis of all data contained in the documents filed (cf. J 25/86, OJ 11/1987, 475). Where there is more than one applicant, each applicant must be similarly identified. Objection should not be raised at this stage with regard to the status of the applicant or his entitlement to apply, or where, in the case of joint applicants, there is doubt as to the Contracting States designated by the individual applicants.
