Step 9: You will then receive a copy of your Appointment Slip via email. Save the PDF file on your phone or print it. You'll need to print the entire form, including the QR code.
Step 10: Go to your selected PSA outlet on the date of your appointment. Arrive at the location on time or a few minutes early. Bring your own pen and protect yourself with a face mask.
