In this case, the agent must submit to the Chief of the competent Public Employment Security Office the qualified recipient's certificate and the documents proving the agent's capacity (or, where that qualified recipient has been issued a notice of recipient qualification, the documents proving that capacity).
The provisions of the proviso to Article 22, paragraph (1) apply mutatis mutandis to the case in the second sentence of the preceding paragraph.
