Family Visitor Visa online application

Hi,

I am just filling an application on Visa4UK website. I am applying for my mom and dad as family visitor.

Do I have to apply separately? It seems from the questions that it does not ask 2nd applicant etc on the form.

I am asking just to be sure. Many thanks.
