How do I respond to the advance notice?
If you believe that you meet the criteria for temporary collective protection, you must provide us with an explanation and submit documentation supporting your statements.
Your explanation must include:
- Your DUF number and case number (DUF number: twelve digits – case number: three digits)
- An explanation of why the extension of your temporary collective protection should not be rejected
- Information about your relationships with close family or household members that may still make you eligible for collective protection
- Any other information you consider important for your case, for example, how a rejection would affect children under 18
- Your signature, or the signature of the person you have authorised to act on your behalf
You can provide a response for several family members in a single letter. All adults must sign the letter.
If you do not submit an explanation within the three-week deadline, we will make a decision based on the information we currently have. If you do not request an individual assessment within three weeks of receiving the advance notice, UDI may issue a decision with a duty to leave the country.
You can send your explanation by post to:
