Guest Pixie10 Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 This might be a stupid question but we're about to lodge our 176 and need some documents certified. Firstly- do we need every single document/payslip that isn't colour certified? (payslips are email print offs) Secondly- A JP is going to certify them for us- what wording does she put? Thanks all x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ali Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 A solicitor did mine - she has a stamp that said "I certify this to be a true copy' it had the solicitors name and contact details - she then signed and dated it, she also gave me a business card to put in with them. I think if they haven't got a stamp it would still be 'I certify this to be a true copy' their name printed and signed and their statues e.g. JP.

Thanks all x Are you not lodging online? It is so much quicker than the paper application and then none of your docs have to be certified if it is the originals! There is a huge difference when looking at the time frames of evisa applications and paper applications! Good luck! Karen :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Pixie10 Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 Hi yeah we have lodged online but I have payslips that were emailed to me and they're black and white so I think from what I've read I need them certified? Thanks Ali! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PositivePixie Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 Hi yeah we have lodged online but I have payslips that were emailed to me and they're black and white so I think from what I've read I need them certified? Thanks Ali! I checked this with DIAC the other day, and they said that if the original document was black and white, ie it never had any colour on it, then you could still upload it online, as long as it is a scan of the original (or ibn your case, the actual payslip that was emailed to you - possibly in pdf format?). I specifically checked that you could still do this even if the original didn't have any colour on it at all, and the guys were positive it would be accepted - they just wouldn't accept a photocopy and then have that scanned in.
