What action may lead to an applicant needing to provide more information?

An informal interview with the board may lead to an applicant needing to provide more information because it presents a situation where board members can ask follow-up questions and seek clarification on various aspects of the application. During this informal setting, the board may identify specific areas that require further elaboration or documentation, prompting the applicant to provide additional details or context to address any concerns raised. This interactive process allows for a clearer understanding of the applicant's qualifications and intentions, ensuring that all necessary information is thoroughly reviewed.

In contrast, a completed application typically signifies that the applicant has submitted all the required information already, while a formal hearing generally follows a defined procedure where evidence is presented, and decisions are made without the dynamic questioning seen in informal interviews. The submission of a new application may indicate a fresh start for the applicant but does not inherently create a need for additional information unless prompted through a subsequent review process.
