Certified photo for TRA

[Smith Tribe]

We are bundling together all our copies to be certified tomorrow, do we need to get my passport photo certified? Dan

Hi

We only got the certificates and copy of passport (for id) certified, not the photo's.

Didn't see anywhere within the paperwork that the photos needed signing, just assumed it was for their records. Good luck and hope all goes well with your TRA.

First application that I did on my own, I had the photo's certified along with everything else but when I filed my second application (still waiting for result after 14 working days ) with an agent, he said he did not need them certified, in fact I e mailed it to my sis who printed off two copies and dropped them at his office (good job they are both in Melbourne )

It does say on the form that you need to also send in 2 passport size photo's as well as other proof of id (passport or birth certificate)

I assumed that these are for their files.

Hi KazzE

Gutted that you are still waiting after 14 working days. We are on pins and it's only been 5 working days. God help us if we have to wait another 2 weeks.

We didn't have to have Ash's photo certified (but judging by the state him in the pic I was very surprised about that )

On the reverse of the photo(s) I wrote Ashley's full name. You could also put date of birth, just to be on the safe side - especially if you have a common name. The reason for putting the name on the reverse is just incase the photos get detached from the rest of the paperwork.
