How to Withdraw an SDCI Record (Application)

Before you request to withdraw a record, be sure: 

• You are a contact on the record you want to withdraw. If you do not see the Make Changes button for the record you may not be a contact on the record. 
• The record is in a status that allows you to withdraw the application. You cannot withdraw a record with a status of Awaiting Information, Ready for Intake, Ready for Publication, or Ready for Issuance.
  • You may not be able to withdraw other record types if staff are actively working on tasks for that application. If your record has a status of Reviews In Process, In Process, or a similar status, contact the assigned SDCI staff to tell them you are withdrawing the record.
  • Read Frequently Asked Questions About SDCI Review Status and Target Due Dates for more information about finding the record status and the assigned staff.
