Fingers crossed for you , finished my application today, just need the jp bit now and it's in the post! I'm sending front and back copy of SA licence signed by JP and the form... thats it unless i'm missing something?

I must of read it al 10 times looking for a request for a photograph but couldn't find anything?

Am i missing anything do you think? and how much do i need to include for the 3 year licence?

I was struggling with same things , at the end decided to cut it and send it... Too much thinking, too much form filling, and even JP was slightly confused with her space on the form why is date space so strangely wide... .
I was comparing license app form with mutual recognition app form, there is a photo request on the "real one". and it occurred to me that they will ask our file from SA and photo will be in it. Or they don't need photo because they didn't think about giving us that license in the first place . Or they will ask for it later if successful.
Fee should be 199 for 3 years, but I just gave the card details this time, they can take now what ever they want (hopefully not too much).
And that was it, license copy and the form, I couldn't find anything else needed either. Note, I'm note sure about any of this more than you are, I'm tired of reading and listening and requirements and forms, so this was actually easy - two papers, a signature and an envelope....
I won't think about this thing again until I receive some reply from them. And I wouldn't cry if I don't get it.

Actually, I will stop by here from time to time to see how are you going . Will see who will bring the news first.

NSW mutual recognition application went in on Friday.

The coin is in the air now, no idea if i'll get it or not based on the varying anecdotal evidence on here but i'll bee sure to let you all know the outcome,.

The race is on to see who's comes back first!

Jockstar, do you remember maybe how much time was needed to get the license? Are they acknowledging receipt of application first? I know I said I wouldn't think about it anymore , but I would like to set my timer to wake me up if they decide to take too much time on this...

Rinkerdink, my friend, going well?
My card is just being charged for 199$. Good sign?
I'm saying no more...

rinkerdink

Hehe, good luck my friend! I hope it works out for both yours and my sakes

I will watch my bank closely over the next couple of days to see if they take my money, just checked and nothing taken yet...

rinkerdink

They took my $199 today, I wonder what the new year will bring...

Jockstar

I think it was about 5 or 6 weeks.

Once you have ur receipt for the mutual recognition application you can work in NSW as electrician , this is fact as I rang them Friday cos am getting my WA A grade swapped to NSW.

dunkl

Thanks.

cbaxrule, thanks for the answer, it would be like that if I have received any receipt

dunkl

Got it. 4 weeks, it says Supervisor Certificate, Electrician. Rinkerdink, yours should be on the way then
I will let myself having a happy holidays, although my small family is without any income currently, then I will think what can we do next....

rinkerdink

Well done , it just shows that there is no substitute for personal experience and that you shouldn't always believe everything you read. If it wasn't for Jockstar saying this was possible I wouldn't have bothered applying after reading all the doom and gloom surrounding Fitter ARTC, PEER course, SA licencing and the mutual recognition agreement. Fingers crossed mine turns up soon, don't need it but it will be a nice one to have, especially as the border is so close
