Welcome to the team!
You're officially a Sun Life advisor.
Tick each one off as you upload it to the LiveBrighter Portal. Your recruiter will tell you if any extra documents apply to you, such as a permit to sell for government employees or a clearance from a previous insurer.
Avoid these common mistakes: "payment in process" screenshots, UMID as SSS proof, notarization older than 5 months, changes made after notarization, expired NBI or certificates, and scans with backgrounds or folds.
Keep your details the same everywhere: your name, TIN, SSS, address, birthplace, birthdate, employer, mobile number and email must match across your LBP profile, CA form and every document.
Take it one step at a time. Your team is with you the whole way.
