Full birth certificate showing both parents names is adequate for regular applications where both parents are migrating.

However, if the natural father (or mother) is not migrating with you, then you will need to prove to the department that you have custody with the rights to remove the child from your country or obtain written permission from the other parent by completing form 1229.

Form 80 is a form to address certain character requirements and is not required in all cases. There doesn't appear to be any real pattern to who gets asked for Form 80 and who doesn't. Therefore, I'd recommend that you get one completed and ready to go if you do get asked. My thoughts are that if you complete form 80 and upload it, it will make the application decision ready and save any further delay in requesting it from you and then having to wait to get the application looked at again by a member of the processing team.

There is an option in the supporting documents box near the top of the eLodgement page and if you click 'attach document' then a full list of document types will be available and you'll find form 80 on the list.

many thanks CaptainC

i will get that sorted asap
