Link to immi site that states Colour scans are ok
Hi,
I've done many searches and am aware that colour scans are accepted for documents such as passports and birth certs in an online visa application (such as a 175 or 176). But can anyone actually supply the link to the immi site where it actually states this. My sis who is sponsoring me is nervous that this isn't the case, she's currently scanning all her docs for me. Many thanks |

Many thanks http://www.immi.gov.au/contacts/visa...fessionals.htm I knew I'd read it somewhere, but it just took me about 10 minutes to find - it's not in an obvious place! |

You know, I'm not really convinced it's worth scanning everything in for an online application as it actually makes more work for the case officer the other end. They would I think prefer to get a nice clear TOC and sheaf of paperclipped sections, everything in order.
I used the online application by printing it out after completing it, then attaching all the supporting documents. I think it looked neater than a hand-completed set of forms (epecially with my terrible writing!). I also noticed that the questions were subtly different from the paper forms. It's just not worth trying to cut corners with something as important as this. We lodged the application in person and the first thing the case officer did was to scan through the table of contents to check it was all there. It doesn't have to cost you to get thing certified - try the police station or registry office. (but remember Aus stat dec forms have a strict list who can witness. It's not just a JP) Just an opinion.. |

Based on informationgiven to me by my own case officer, they have to scan all the paperwork anyway. Thats why you see requests for "No staples" etc. EVerything is scanned and kept on disc, so if it is already an electronic file, that can only make things easier for them.

My bank manager certified all 60+ pages for our visa application for free!!!! :thumbsup:
Had no problems off my case officer either. Any coloured original document can be scanned in without being certified..........but you have to get all black and white original documents photocopied and certified to attach online. Beth x x :wub: |
