Can I submit my APS application before I have received my dMAT certificate?
Yes. You can submit your APS application first and provide the dMAT certificate later. APS India can begin verifying your other documents in advance and issue your final certificate only after your dMAT result is submitted and checked. Run both processes in parallel, not in sequence.

How the parallel timeline works
You can submit your APS application first and provide the dMAT certificate later. APS India can begin verifying your other documents in advance and complete the overall procedure, issuing your final APS certificate, only after your required dMAT result is submitted and checked.
Why you should not wait to file
Do not delay your other APS paperwork while waiting on your dMAT result. The two can and should move in parallel, which keeps your overall timeline as short as possible.
My Advice
Submit your APS documents as soon as they are ready, regardless of your dMAT exam date. Running both processes in parallel rather than in sequence is the single most effective way to avoid losing weeks on this timeline.
