Clearance Type
In the event of players transferring from abroad, foreign players registering for the first time, whether they are minors or adults, a special clearance may be required such as a FIFA International Transfer Certificate (ITC), or an approved minor exemption.
For example, FIFA prohibits the international transfers of minors, except in specific cases. These exceptions apply in cases when a player is a refugee, or when parents relocate to another country for employment reasons, or in other similar cases. These exceptions are clearly outlined in the Clearance Types.
By incorporating this functionality into COMET, users can:
select a clearance type on a player registration in both, MyComet and COMET UI

Clearance Types can be managed by Superusers in the Admin application under the Registration menu.
