The following information explains if your documents do need to be verified. This is important, as documents not correctly verified as a "true and accurate" copy will result in delays in the processing of your application and its consideration for admission.

Who can verify copies for you?

For international documents/qualifications:

• your employed agent submitting your application and documents on your behalf
• Australian Embassy official
• High Commission or Trade Mission official
• Public Notary
• Australian Justice of the Peace with a registration number.

How should the authorised officer verify each document?

'This is a true copy of the original document sighted by me.'

Then sign and print the following details:

• name
• address
• business hours telephone number
• profession, occupation or organisation
• the current date.

They must include the official stamp or seal of the verifier's organisation on the copy if the organisation has such a stamp.

In addition to the above, a Justice of the Peace must also print their registration number and the state in which they are registered as a Justice of the Peace.
