Player clearances is a mechanism whereby clubs gain approval from their governing body to transfer a player from one club to another. Throughout the process, the affected clubs and the association are notified by email as to the actions that are required at any stage. Note: Permits have a similar process to that described below for Clearances, except the application is between one club and the association. A player must be on a club's player list before a Permit can be requested. More information about Permits Below is an overview of the clearance process. |

Requesting a clearance
Go to Mode: Competition Participation Menu: Players -> Permits & Clearances -> Apply for a Player Clearance
- Search for the player within ResultsVault by any of the ResultsVault ID, the Player Name, or the Player club
- A list of players is displayed. Click the Select link. Make sure that where a player is listed as belonging to more than one club, that the correct club is chosen.
- Select the season, and the association the clearance applies to.

When applying for a clearance for a player that is not in ResultsVault first create a record and add that player to your player list, then apply for the clearance. A note should be added to the From Club Comment that the player was not within ResultsVault. |

Notes on the process
- When a clearance application changes status an email is sent out to both clubs and the association notifying them of the change. Emails are sent to:
- Any club administrative user that either creates the request, or responds to it
- Any club administrative user that is subscribed to the Clearance/Permit request Notification
- Any association administrative user that is subscribed to the Clearance/Permit request Notification
- More information about Notifications
- If a club denies a clearance, the association can override and grant the clearance.
- If more information is requested by any party, the request essentially goes back to the prior status. For example, if a club has 'granted' a clearance, then the association requests more information, that club needs to provide the information, and grant the clearance again.
- All changes to the clearance application will result in an "audit" record that is accessible by the association.
- Personal details of a player being cleared from another club will be obscured from the applying club until that clearance is granted.
