Hi Experts
Is it a mandatory requirement to upload “certified copies” of the documents for a SC190 visa application.
When I click the “question mark” right next to each “required documents” these are the requirement regarding certified copies
- Evidence of Birth - Provide a certified copy of your full birth certificate.
- Evidence of Language Ability - Provide evidence of the applicant's English language ability. This may include a certified copy of score report.
- Evidence of Overseas Education Qualification - This may include a certified copy of your academic transcripts, educational certificate (degree, diploma etc) or letter/statement from your overseas education institution.
- Skills Assessment - Provide a certified copy of your skills assessment issued by the relevant skills assessment body.
- Travel Document – Not Asking for certified copies.
- Evidence of Work Experience Australian - This may include a certified copy of your employment contract, a letter/statement from your business/employer or work reference.
- Evidence of Regional Australia Study - Not Asking for certified copies.
- Evidence of Character History India - Not Asking for certified copies.
- Evidence of Character History Australia - Not Asking for certified copies.
- Evidence of Australian Study Requirements - Not Asking for certified copies.
For my application all documents and original color PDFs issued form the issuing authorities like
- Evidence of Birth – Local Governing Body
- Evidence of Language Ability – PTE Score Card
- Evidence of Overseas Education Qualification – University
- Skills Assessment – Engineers Australia
- Evidence of Work Experience Australian – Contract Letter from Employer.
So, what does it mean when they ask us to upload a certified copy?
What is the most followed practice related to this
