KLeanne Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 Hey, Just wondering what documents need to be certified and who can certify them, when applying for a partnership visa? Thanks! Sent using Poms in Oz mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWayOfThePony Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 I certified pretty much everything regarding ID - passport copies, birth certificates etc. And the witness forms too. But I think that as long as you have colour scans you don't need to. I just wanted to be on the safe side! I had everything certified at the post office, though they charge a fee. Otherwise you can ask the following : https://www.gov.uk/certifying-a-document http://www.postoffice.co.uk/document-certification-service 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KLeanne Posted May 15, 2017 Author Share Posted May 15, 2017 Wow thank you, I never knew the post office could do it, I was told it needed to be a justice of peace or solicitor! I'll probably do the same and get them all certified lol. Is it just I.D type documents, or photos Etc too?

TheWayOfThePony Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 I didn't certify the photos, or the police clearance now that I think about it (but I sent a colour scan). Just the ID docs and witness forms I know, I was so relieved when I heard the post office could do it!! I thought I would have to book an appointment with a judge or something ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KLeanne Posted May 15, 2017 Author Share Posted May 15, 2017 Great [emoji5][emoji106] Yes, that's so great that they can do it! It says Minister, was going to ask my Minister, but think I'm going with Post Office! Now I just need to research how to do a colored scan and I'm away [emoji23][emoji23]Sent from my iPhone using PomsinOz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheWayOfThePony Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 Ryman stationary shops will do colour scans for you, if you don't have a scanner at home/work I'm sure similar shops offer scanning services as well! http://www.ryman.co.uk/services 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DukeNinja Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 I bought my scanner/copier/fax/printer all in one for less than £40, and I still have it 5 years on.

DukeNinja Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 Check on the DIBP website about the specific requirements of the scanned items, ie colour and dpi (resolution). You can scan them as pdf and merge multiple items as one document (as you're limited to a set number of scanned items).Sent from my XT1635-02 using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beffers Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 The only documents that were certified were the Stat Dec's from Aussie friends Nothing else of mine was certified at all, colour scans of everything were uploaded, and this was enough for DIBP. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
