What is the status of an applicant who has paid the required fees and submitted the completed application?

When an applicant has fulfilled the necessary requirements by paying the required fees and submitting a completed application, their status is considered "Active." This indicates that the applicant has taken the first essential steps toward becoming certified as a private process server. An active status means they are currently recognized in the process of application evaluation or approval and are not facing any barriers like missing documents or incomplete payments.

Having a status of "Active" signifies that the application is in good standing and that the applicant is fully engaged in the certification process. This status usually precedes final approval, where further assessments or qualifications might need to be completed.

In contrast, other statuses such as "Unqualified," "Pending," or "Inactive" imply various issues or stages in the application process that do not reflect the applicant's readiness or compliance with the initial requirements. For example, "Pending" typically indicates waiting for additional information or processing, while "Unqualified" suggests that the applicant has not met specific prerequisites. "Inactive" usually means that the application or certification is on hold for some reason, not advancing toward approval.
