awaiting payment

Awaiting payment is the status of an application for which the required payment has not yet been received.

In plain English

This status means the application still has a required payment that has not been received. It identifies the application's payment state, not a different issue with the application itself.

In context

Here, it communicates that the permit application still requires the required payment to be received.

Situation

Meaning limits

By itself, this status does not say whether the application will be approved or what its review status is.

Examples

Core meaning

“After submission, the permit application stayed awaiting payment for three days.”
