Currently, the online application is designed for use by desktop computers and tablets using Chrome; Firefox; Safari; Internet Explorer 10, 11, and Edge; Apple Tablet and Android Tablet (native browsers). You can download most of these browsers through Pepco’s website. Other browsers and smart phone optimization will be added in the future. Customers without one of the recommended browsers should submit a paper application.
