As a Proxy User, How Do I Complete Travel Requirements on Behalf of a Traveler?

A Proxy User is assigned by an Authorized Traveler to complete travel registry requirements on their behalf.


As a Proxy, you've been given permission to register travel and complete other travel requirements for staff, faculty, or guest travel at your organization. As a Proxy, you'll have permission to do the following tasks on behalf of another Traveler...

  • Create a Travel Plan for another Traveler
  • Add and edit the dates and locations of another Traveler's Plan
  • Add and edit itinerary details 
  • Delete itinerary details 
  • Complete certain required forms on behalf of another Traveler

 

To sign up and complete your Via TRM account (you’ve been invited as a proxy)

  1. Go to your email inbox 
  2. Click on the ‘You’ve been as a Proxy!’ email 
  3. Click Get Started
    1. For SSO institutions, click the Go to Portal button
    2. For Non-SSO institutions, click ‘Sign Up’
  4. Follow the instructions
  5. Click the Create account button

 

 

Once a Proxy User has completed their account setup, they can continue to register their Travel Plan and Itinerary. Travel registry requirements are unique to every institution. If a Proxy is unsure of travel requirements, the Via team always recommends consulting the Education Abroad or Risk and Safety team.
