Division 2.1 Entering data upon the application

In cases where an application is lodged with the authority of a Member State representing another Member State, the entry of data into the VIS and the subsequent communication regarding that application file shall include the represented Member State identification, which shall be stored as an attribute ‘represented User’, taken from the same code table as the Member State entering the data in the VIS.

All application files linked pursuant to Article 8(4) of the VIS Regulation shall have the ownership of the same Member State.

When a Member State copies fingerprints from an application file registered in the VIS, it shall have ownership of the new application file into which fingerprints are copied.
