the certified copies
Copies of documents must be certified as true copies of the originals. 'Certified copies' are copies
of documents authorised, or stamped, as being true copies of the originals, by a person or agency
recognised by the law of the country in which they are certified.
Persons authorised to certify copies in Australia include (but are not limited to):
● Justices of the Peace
● Pharmacists
● Solicitors
● Nurses
● Police officers
● Registered medical practitioners
● Bank managers
● Postal managers
Documents in languages other than English should be accompanied by an English translation.
If the applicant is onshore, the translation should be undertaken by a translator accredited by
the National Accreditation Authority for Translators and Interpreters (NAATI). Failure to do
so may significantly affect the processing of your application. Translations provided by
non-accredited translators overseas should be endorsed by the translator with their full name,
address, telephone number, and details of their qualifications and experience in the language
being translated. Please note that, where applicable, the copies of both the original document
and the translation must be certified as true copies. |
