docUP Secure Document Upload is a mobile app that allows users to upload supporting documentation, to help them apply to DYCD funded programs, using their mobile device. They will need to enter basic information specific to the program and they are ready to go. No account creation is required, and the app can be used as many times as needed to upload all the supporting documents the DYCD program requires. Once uploaded via the mobile upload app, the provider and DYCD users will access to review and process an applicant’s documentation. Each client’s application will have its own document inbox where submitted documents can be reviewed and validated. Due diligence will be completed by the provider and DYCD users to determine if the documents uploaded are sufficient for accepting the applicant into the program. Once all the needs are met, the application is ready to be processed and approved in DYCD Connect.
