December 29, 20178 yr Been trying Safari, Chrome, and Firefox (all on a Mac), but none of them get beyond step 1: “Fill up Personal information”. Clicking “Submit” just gives an empty page or (with Firefox) constant reloading. Has anyone successfully used the online reporting on a Mac? Currently downloading a VirtualBox image with IE11 for Windows, as I read somewhere, that the online reporting requires Internet Explorer, only God would know why…
December 29, 20178 yr You can do it on Safari by enabling a user agent switcher for internet explorer. See: http://www.dummies.com/web-design-development/how-to-activate-user-agent-switcher-in-safari/

See: http://www.dummies.com/web-design-development/how-to-activate-user-agent-switcher-in-safari/ The problem is not that the page shows “You must use IE” but rather that the form submission fails for all the browser I have tried. Though based on your comment, I did try to change User Agent string in Safari, but same result.
December 29, 20178 yr The blank page after clicking submit is likely because you have a popup blocker enabled that is blocking a message to contact your local office office which means your record could not be found. The message comes up on a blank page and you click OK then it will go back to the application page.
December 29, 20178 yr Author I downloaded a VirtualBox image from Microsoft (IE 11 for Win 7) so I could run IE in a virtual machine. But I still get the same blank page when submitting details. No ad blockers. So seems it’s not a problem on my side.

I get the popup message when I try to do a report since I have a new passport since my last entry which is also to old.
