lindajyyu Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 (edited) Hi all, I have another question about this form again. It says -- PHOTOGRAPH The endorsed photograph of the applicant must be attached to this page without obscuring the image. It can also be placed in a plastic sleeve and stapled to this page. If applying for citizenship online, the front and back of the endorsed photograph must also be separately scanned and attached to the applicant’s online application. The photograph IS NOT TO BE SIGNED BY THE APPLICANT The person who has completed the Identity declaration must also endorse the photograph. See Photograph requirements on page 1 ----------------------- We are applying online. Should we attach the photo (front and back) to the form when scanning it and submit it? thank you again Edited January 7, 2016 by lindajyyu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you go in for your test you hand in the hard copies. My tip is: use new photos. I just used ones from when I had my passport done, but at the test stage they picked that up and I had to re do the whole form!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silencio Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Please don't sellotape as this won't be accepted when applying online! That would give you trouble. In case you sellotape the photo to your application it will still remain 'incomplete' as you must upload the front of the photo separately, the endorsed back separately + the form as well. So 3 attachments for that alone otherwise you won't receive a progress status from 'required' to 'received'. There is a guide available from immiaccount of how to attach everything when applying online 'How to attach documents to a citizenship application'. You may consider to hand in a paper application.

Dont know if you've done a citizenship application, but I am about to go for my ceremony so have literally just experienced this. The form has space for TWO photos. In one of them, you put the face side of the photo, in the other, you put the reverse side of ANOTHER photo, with a signature. The form is specifically designed to be uploaded in this way. Then when you go for your test, you hand them the original of the form, Sellotape and all!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silencio Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 I'v copied the short cut from the official site. I hope that works as it clearly states that the form is not designed to attach photos: https://www.google.com.au/search?q=how+to+attach+documents+to+a+citizenship+application&rls=com.microsoft:en-AU:IE-Address&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&sourceid=ie7&rlz=&gfe_rd=cr&ei=50GOVu35M8HN8AfrmLP4Bw&gws_rd=ssl# Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silencio Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 (edited) Hi Isabelj, how did you proceed with your application? Because I read the online lodgement automatically populates some kind of 'check list' where you have to 'action' and provide supporting evidence described and outlined by DIBP and when you don't do the whole lot subdivided into 3 pieces how were you be able to submit? How were you be able to click 'submit'? Would be interesting to know for me as I haven't done it but I will certainly stick to the outlined rules by immigov. Did you apply before 15th of April 2015? Then it was different of course. Edited January 7, 2016 by silencio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Page 3 specifically has the photograph section on. i have just done it and it was all approved fine! Of course pages 3 & 4 must be scanned and attached but without the photo and without the endorsed back as one document. This must be attached separately, read page 6 of the guide. Happy to hear that you were fine with your application but nowadays they make a fuss of how to attach docs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
