Process Detail

For hands on assistance with the InterPartner ELR process, we strongly advise jurisdictions to submit an ELRTA/Interpartner request through our ELRTA Technical Request form at Technical Assistance Request Form (smartsheet.com)

However, for jurisdictions that are experienced with InterPartner ELR (i.e., have successfully completed at least one InterPartner connection), we have developed a process for jurisdictions to engage with one another without direct coordination support from the APHL TA team. Below are the recommended steps to ensure a successful Interpartner engagement for this scenario.

Although these steps may be completed without APHL coordination, we do ask that you create and track all progress on via our request form for our awareness.
