Q: Do multiple pages need to be submitted as separate files? Some sections of an application may contain multiple pages (for example item 8.5 in the MPA03). If this is the case, it is preferred that multiple pages be combined into a single attachment. If you use the Word document we provide as part of the electronic form, you can unprotect the document, select all the text, copy, and paste as many times as necessary.
Q: How do I handle newspaper advertisements? If you have the newspaper advertisement when preparing an application, include it with the application. Otherwise, you can scan the advertisement later and email it directly to
MinePermitAds@ky.gov.

Tips
- When creating an application, build the attachment collection file and insert it into the application. Do not try to open any of the attachments until you have saved the file. Otherwise, Microsoft Word may create an improper file association, making the file inaccessible.
- To insert an attachment into an electronic form, click Insert > Object > Create From File. Check the "Display as icon" checkbox. Use the browse button to find the file. For clarity, you can use the file name as the icon caption and confirm the insertion.
