When the first route does not work

  1. Confirm that the number, office or portal applies to your location.
  2. Record the date, time, reference number and response where it is safe to do so.
  3. Use an alternative district or state route listed on the relevant record.
  4. Escalate to the responsible authority or legal-services route when the matter remains unresolved.
