The Rural Payments Agency (RPA) has opened six drop-in centres across England in a bid to ease farmers' BPS 2018 submissions.
The RPA's drop-in centres have been opened in Carlisle, Exeter, Newcastle, Reading, Workington and York.
They were opened on Monday (23 April) and will close on Tuesday 15 May.
They will accept fully completed BPS application forms and supporting documents, and provide receipts for them.
It follows news of the RPA being urged to open its doors "immediately" to avoid delays in the lead up to the Basic Payment Scheme (BPS) 2018 application window closing date.
CLA Deputy President Mark Bridgeman said: "The drop-in centres are so important for farmers and their agents because some documents for BPS claims cannot be submitted online.
"Having access to this face-to-face service is a crucial part of helping the process to run smoothly and not result in delays to payments."
