eGOS (electronic GOS) forms are here and you can easily send your GOS forms electronically from Opticabase. There is no fixed date when it will become mandatory, but the new GOS forms are coming out at the end of September and then you will not be able to print them. They are passport application form style with every letter and number of the name, address etc having it’s own small box to write in.

An example of how it will work can be seen by clicking on eGOS Example

At the end of filling out the form on screen and submitting it, you get a reply back with 10 seconds to confirm that it has been accepted. If it fails, you get a message that tells you why and you can then adjust the eGOS form and resubmit it.

eGOS 1 example – ACCEPTED:

eGOS 4 example – FAILED:

By clicking on the failure code (bottom right), it will give you the failure reason.
