RMT APPLICATION FORMS GO DIGITAL

RMT helpline 0800 376 3706 :: september 2020 :: RMTnews 21 RMT APPLICATION FORMS GO DIGITAL RMT application forms can now be downloaded from the RMT web site and completed completely on screen and emailed back to us. These forms can also be partially completed, saved and forwarded to others for full completion, e.g. your branch secretary. This process avoids postage, unnecessary contact and speeds up the whole process. These are industry standard enabled PDF documents that have auto formating and validation to help completion. These documents are completely consistant across all computers and platforms, very small in file size (for emailing) and only require Adobe Acrobat Reader software which is a standard software on the vast majority of computer operating systems. If you do not have Adobe Acrobat Reader it is a free download from Adobe.com and is totally safe and secure. We would encourage members to use these forms digitally but if members still prefer to complete by hand these documents can be printed out, completed and posted in the traditional way. Forms are downloadable from rmt.org.uk/member-benefits/benefit- forms/ HOW TO COMPLETE THE RMT PDF FORMS 1. Download the required PDF form from rmt.org.uk/member-benefits/benefit-forms/ and save to your computer. 2. Open with Adobe Acrobat Reader (this should be the default software for this file) 3. Enter the required data in the entry fields (usually highlighted in blue). You can use the ‘tab’ key to jump to the next field. 4. Once the required fields are completed you can sign the form using the following process... a. Click on ‘Fill & Sign’ in the Tools pane on the right. b. Click ‘Sign’, and then select ‘Add Signature’. c. A popup will open, giving you three options— Type, Draw, and Image. You can either use the draw function or place an image if you have your signature scanned in. Once you’re done, click the Apply button. d. Drag, resize and position the signature in the correct space inside your PDF file. 5. Save file, then if completed send the PDF via email to c.sharpe@rmt.org.uk or forward on if more than person is required to complete the form. Please note: If you are having problems please make sure you have the latest Acrobat Reader installed (available free at adobe.com). Remember, these forms can also be printed out and completed by hand if preferred. To streamline our application form processes and to minimise personal contact during the COVID19 pandemic RMT have reproduced all our application forms in a digital PDF format.
