How to Authorize Surrender

To authorize a surrender as a consignee, follow these steps:

  1. Click on the Inbox folder under Envelopes on the left sidebar, and select the eBL you want to authorize. Hover the eBL number to view additional details,  such as possession status, eBL type, last signature added, and your role on the eBL. To copy the eBL number click on the icon.

  2. Click on the eBL to open and verify its details. The full document will appear on the right side.
    Click the Fullscreen button on the top right to expand the document view. You can also click the Download button to download a copy.
  3. Click ‘Choose an Action’ and select ‘Authorize Surrender’. A New Envelope drawer will open on the right. 
  4. Add the Envelope Recipient from the dropdown list, then click Send.
  5. When completed, a green confirmation message, ‘The envelope was sent successfully’, will be displayed at the bottom left of the screen. The eBL status has now changed to Losing Possession.



Important Note

To complete the surrender process, you need to receive the Surrender Accomplished copy from the Carrier. This copy is an approval that the Carrier has accepted the surrender request. The Release Order will be sent by the Shipping Company, not through WaveBL platform, communicated through your regular channels.
