The form will ask you for the email addresses of the people with signing permissions on the account. In order to process your request, the details and signatures of your account signatories must match what we have on record. To help speed things up, once you've submitted the form please let your signatories know that they'll be required to approve the request. We'll also send them an email with instructions.
