LEAR Recovery Wizard

In the following screen, provide the details of the LEAR as registered in EU Login. It could be your own EU Login details, or someone else's.

If the email address is not registered yet with EU Login, you will have the possibility to send an invitation email to the future LEAR to register first (the system will send it automatically after clicking next) . You cannot finish the LEAR appointment until the person registers. 

If the provided email address and name combination exists in EU Login but there are differences between your input and EU Login data, you will be invited to correct the details.

In the final screen, provide the LEAR documents. You click on the pencil on the right to upload each document, and then, browse to select a document from your computer, and confirm the selection by clicking on Upload. These are the different documents you need to provide:

• The LEAR appointment document. Download the template, sign it, and then, scan the signed copy and upload it via the red pencil button on the right.
• The LEAR identity document. If the Legal Representative is not the same as the LEAR, you will need to upload the identity of each one separately.
• Download the Declaration of Consent to the Terms and Conditions of the Funding & Tender Portal, sign it, scan it and upload the signed copy.
• Finally, upload a Legal Representative authorisation.

 When you upload a document, the pencil will turn yellowish instead of reddish. You can download the document to check if it is the correct one by clicking on the hyperlink on the left of the pencil button, except for the ID documents, which cannot be previewed.

 The category Other documents is used only if Validation Services requests you to provide more documentation, you do not need to upload any document under this category when submitting your request for the first time.

When all documents have been uploaded, click on Submit and then on Yes when being asked if they are uploaded under the correct document type.

You can save as draft, but a draft, if not submitted within 10 days after saving it, it will expire and you will have to initiate a new request.

Back in the wizard, you will see that the status of your request is Submitted.

You can modify the details by clicking on the Edit button. Please note, try to avoid editing unless that there is an error to correct or if you are requested by Validation Services to do so, since each time you edit and submit, the Validation of the LEAR will be triggered from the start point.
