Gayle1976 Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 Hi everyone, we have a migrant agent doing our application and he has just advised me that in regard to certifying documents, immigration "indicated" that they now accept colour copies instead so I don't need to get things certified?? I'm a tad sceptical and we are on a time frame so I don't want to not get them done for our application to them be refused or to have immigration request certified documents at a later date? Does anyone have any advice? Thanks x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanduex Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 I have heard that this is the case. I didn't follow this route . . . .but I think you can find documentation that supports it. Not sure it is valid for ALL documents though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lizzywills Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 We will be applying this month and have got all of our documents certified by a solicitor and colour copied, these have then been scanned in and emailed to our agent in Sydney. I've not heard that they'll accept uncertified docs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dxboz Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 They do accept uncertified colour copies now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gayle1976 Posted April 5, 2014 Author Share Posted April 5, 2014 Dxboz, any idea where that is stated? I couldn't find it on the immigration website. Think I'm just confused as we got sent a doc saying loads had to be certified and then got told on the same email that most don't but to follow the info sent regarding certifying... Very confusing. Thanks for replying everyone x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpatel1972 Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 Gayle, to be on the safe side, you should have them certified. I had all my docs certified even the colour ones. This just saves time in the long run and a peace of mind. It cost me £2 for non-photo and £5 for photo certification. I'm in NW London. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drumbos79 Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 They definitely accept colour scanned copies, I had no problems and received visa last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
