Description
### Overview
The _Application to Remove Oneself as a Director_ allows an individual incorrectly recorded as a director to request removal when a company fails to file a required change. The individual must notify the company by mail and wait 60 days before applying with a statutory declaration. If no action is taken by the company, the individual submits this application supported by a statutory declaration which should confirm notice delivery and eligibility. If requirements are met, the system removes the individual effective on the filing date. Certified records are issued to both the individual and the company, preserving register integrity.
### User Stories
**1: Director Removal Filing**
As an applicant, I want to submit an online filing to remove myself as a director so that the public record reflects accurate director information.
**2: Eligibility Validation**
As an applicant, I want the system to validate my eligibility before payment so that ineligible director removal filings are prevented from proceeding.
**3: Statutory Declaration Submission**
