Application / Regulation advice Upgrading from PAL to RPAL

I got my PAL in November and just completed my Restricted safety course. Applying for the upgrade but it requires again the reference, though I have to do it by snail mail.

What I’m wondering is can I just put the email and phone of my reference like I did in the online application for the PAL or is the physical signature required here?

You can only apply online once (for reasons no one can explain). So if you applied online for your PAL, you must do everything by paper/mail for the RPAL. I had the same issue.
