Application Process Guideline

Step 2: Get Your Electronic Token

Contact the EFDO for your electronic token. Only the EFDO may generate an electronic token you can use. The EFDO establishes processing procedures for ERAS applications, including the schedule for distributing tokens, downloading applicant files, scanning transcripts, attaching documents, processing LoRs, and sending files to programs. Contact the EFDO to check their schedule and procedures. Don't assume the EFDO will attach or transmit your files at the last minute. Processing may take a week or longer. The EFDO lead time for scanning and uploading documents is up to four weeks.

If there is a problem with transmissions you could miss a deadline. Give the EFDO and yourself enough time to meet deadlines. Submit documents at least four weeks prior to program deadlines. Contact your letter writers now for early submission of documents. You must follow the EFDO document submission guidelines published at https://www.erasfellowshipdocuments.org.
