All applications must be submitted via UK LLC's online application management system, UK LLC Apply.
To ensure the appropriate and fair use of LPS participants’ information, UK LLC operates a rigorous **multi-stage application process** (figure 1). Once an application is approved, each applicant must complete **legal documentation** before the UK LLC Data Team **provisions their approved data** in the UK LLC Trusted Research Environment (TRE). Take a look at the [**UK LLC Data Use Register**](https://ukllc.ac.uk/data-use-register) to see a list of applications already submitted to UK LLC.
We have split our **application guidance** into the following pages:
- Submit your [**expression of interest (EoI)**](../applying/eoi.md)
- Submit your [**full application**](../applying/application.md)
- Complete the [**'paperwork'**](../applying/paperwork.md).
We have also written a guide about the [**application review process**.](../applying/review.md)

**Note**: only applications that include [**non-health administrative data**](../../linked_admin_data/admin_data.md) will need to go through Stage 4 review by the UK Statistics Authority.
**Note**: the time it takes for a researcher’s organisation to sign a DAA with UK LLC can vary between less than a month to several months – this is outside the control of UK LLC.
