The easiest way is to find the document already issued in your ARCHIVES within eCO-Online, click on VIEW and then click COPY. This will create a new application and you can make the necessary changes. If your new document is requested within the same month as the previous document, we will be happy to reduce the fee to a $10.00 per document reissue fee. In the SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS box you must put “Replacement for AW-20-xxxxx” (X = previous document number).If the request is in a different month, we are unable to reduce the price, however, we still need to know that it is a replacement so that we can void the original document according to ICC Guidelines.For future use, please be aware that you can create a draft of the document for your client prior to approval by the chamber. Once your document has been created just SAVE the application and click on the gray CLIENT COPY box at the top of the page. Once you have the needed approval, simply login, EDIT your document and SUBMIT for chamber approval.
