-  * **Do I need to submit an illustration with the application?​** ​  ​\\ ​ We encourage you to submit all pages of a signed illustration with all applications. In California, all applications must be accompanied by all pages of a signed and dated illustration. The illustration must be signed on or before the application. Use the FGL website illustration software or desktop software to run the illustration. The client may use e-signature for website illustrations,​ or you may print and have the client sign the illustration. The signed illustration must then be saved to your computer and uploaded during the e-App process. In other states, you may have the option of completing a Statement in Lieu of an Illustration,​ which you will be prompted to complete during the e-App.</​del>​

   * **Can I take/​solicit the e-App over the telephone?​** ​  ​\\ ​ No. As is current standard for all FGL annuity applications,​ the e-App is an in-person application. As part of the agent contract, agents are required to meet with clients in person. In order to assess Suitability of the client and ensure the client understands all aspects of the policy he/she is purchasing. It is also required that the agent verify a valid photo identification,​ in person, for each individual on the application due to the U.S. Patriot Act. The FGL e-App platform does allow the client to complete the signatures at a later time, after meeting with the agent, to complete the application. This feature is not to be used in place of an in-person meeting with the client, it is to be used in conjunction with an in-person meeting with the client.   * **Can I take/​solicit the e-App over the telephone?​** ​  ​\\ ​ No. As is current standard for all FGL annuity applications,​ the e-App is an in-person application.
