nuttersuclan Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Dear all Has anyone been through this process? When submitting documents online, such as passport scans/photographs/etc, how did you certify them? Cheers Danny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Londongal76 Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Mine are getting certified by my immi solicitor. I assume any solicitor can do that, but more info here. https://www.gov.uk/certifying-a-document Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuttersuclan Posted February 13, 2014 Author Share Posted February 13, 2014 Yeah, I have a friend in the police force who can do it, but how would I submit that online? Typically, a certified document is signed on the reverse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coolbreeze Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 All my coloured scans of originals were accepted by CO. Did not need certifying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest30085 Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 For Vetassess, I had copies certified on the front of each page by a solicitor. This was earlier last year though when you could only post evidence in. I would have them certified and then scan to send online. When you get your visa invitation, then immi (DIBP) will accept scanned colour copies. But for Vetassess, then check which documents they ask to be certified and then scan them in, other documents you should just be able to send colour scans of.

nuttersuclan Posted February 14, 2014 Author Share Posted February 14, 2014 Thanks everyone. I have colour scans of all of the relevant documents, but will get my friend (the copper) to certify the ones that need it, according to the VETASSESS website, and upload them with his scrawl just in case. I appreciate the input Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bissy Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 All my coloured scans of originals were accepted by CO. Did not need certifying. I thought all certificates needed certified? Loving this news...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flatpack Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 I have a relative who is a solicitor and he certified all our docs for a bottle of white wine :biggrin:. He stamped the face of each document and signed them, he also swore at me quite a lot when he rang to say he had finished as there were than many docs!

nuttersuclan Posted February 15, 2014 Author Share Posted February 15, 2014 Another related question - when uploading your documents, do you need the reference there and then, or is it something VETASSESS get by contacting the referee you have given? The website is quite confusing and contradictory, at times! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeoSurfer Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 Sorry to hijack the thread but I'm around the VETASSESS rigamarole too. I just wondered how in depth people were when filling in the Duties section? I don't want to give too little information but I don't want to make it unreadable either!

nuttersuclan Posted February 16, 2014 Author Share Posted February 16, 2014 GeoSurfer - do you mean the section where you can list up to 10 specific duties? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeoSurfer Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 GeoSurfer - do you mean the section where you can list up to 10 specific duties? That's the one, yeah. P.s. Guessing you're from Lancashire? If so, me too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuttersuclan Posted February 20, 2014 Author Share Posted February 20, 2014 Mine were fairly detailed but as concise as possible. I tried to relate them as closely to the Australian job description for my profession too. Yeah, I work in Preston but live in Burnley. Hoping to be in Aus July 2015 though! How about you?

The website is quite confusing and contradictory, at times! I answered my own question by just applying. No, you don't need to provide a reference in advance, 19/02/14.

I think I'm just going to write plenty then cut it down and see where I am. A page and a half seems like it should be enough. Small world, live in Colne but working in Skipton. Hoping to be there as soon as the visa goes through and I can get a job! End of this year is my tentative target. Hoping I can get a few Skype interviews because flying out just for an interview could be costly. VETASSESS & the rest to muddle through first though. Thread related: I have a neighbour who is a councillor, hopefully he is a councillor 'of a municipality'... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
