Colour copies

[Aussiebird]

I have coloured certified copies of  various identity documents which were obtained back in 2010 for my o/h first partner visa but they have dates on of 2010. I sponsored him and it was granted.

Does anyone know if i can still use them or would i have to get new ones all over again?  I understand the documents to upload should be coloured but do not have to be certified, but mine are as i needed the copies originally back in 2010. 

The documents are mainly Birth and one change of name document. Also our marriage certificate is one of the long certificates in green which are too big for a scanner, can smaller ones now be obtained?

Thanks in advance.

Scan the originals in colour. With big Certs simply do two scans with an overlap. You can also take a picture with a phone and use an app to convert it to a PDF which can then be uploaded.

Thanks rammygirl. I am questioning if previous certified coloured copies can still be used-they were certified in 2010.

No but you don’t need them. Just scan the originals. They don’t need to be certified if colour scans.

Thank you. Also may i please ask if each of our statements can be typed as a word document then as a pdf, instead of being hand written? 

Thank you.
