Canceling an Application

Agency staff and applicants can cancel applications in a pending or payment pending status that have not yet been submitted.

The system status for the application changes from Pending or Payment pending to Voided.

For information about withdrawing an application that was submitted and is already in progress, see Withdrawing an Application.
