Citizenship application in person

Citizenship application in person
Having successfully taken the citizenship test and already having had our documents photocopied (at the time of the test) we now need to submit the citizenship application form and our little boys documents
My question is, can we turn up in person at the office of Citizenship and Immigration (on Adelaide Street in Brisbane) and submit our little boys paperwork, hand in our applications and pay the fees (do they take EFTPOS)?
Has anybody done this?

Re: Citizenship application in person
I was told after my test that I could hand the application in at the Immigration office in Melbourne. My mate was going to Melbourne the next day and he just handed it in at the enquiry counter. No problems.
I just filled in my credit card details in the fees section, and the $240 appeared on my statement about 3 weeks ago.

Can anyone tell me (a) where's the best place to get document certification done and (b) if penal certificates only apply for people who have been convicted abroad (not that I have) and are not akin to police checks?
Cheers.

Re: Citizenship application in person
Are you seriously saying you believe the helpline?
So, ironically, no help at all then?
Isn't there a list of acceptable persons on the application form?
Yes, I've since realised that the same person who certified our photographs can also certify documents.
Only needed if you have spent 12 months or more overseas since getting your visa.
We had our visas granted August '05 then traveled to Sydney in November '05 (3 weeks) to validate them and finally moved to Australia permanently in July '06. Does this mean that we do not need penal clearance certificates as we have only spent 11 months in the UK from the date of visa issue to the date we entered Australia permanently?

This seems like the easiest way.
