# How do I complete my NISS application?

I've just paid my NISS, what should I do now?

## Step 1 - Access your dashboard

To start your NISS request, you have to first go to your **dashboard.**

Just after the payment, you must have received an email from AnchorLess (please check your spam), if this is the case, just click on the email and click on "**Log in**".

If you haven't received it, no worries, simply follow these steps:

Go to login page by clicking [here](https://anchorless.io/dashboard) or on the **Access** button on the AnchorLess home page.
