Hi everyone!

I lodged an application for a 190 visa two days ago. Am trying to attach documents now but suddenly realise that for many of the evidence documents, when i click on the `question mark' icon next to the evidence type (e.g. Birth or Age, Evidence of), it states that I'm to provide a certified copy of e.g. a full birth certificate.

This is pretty confusing to me because in the webpage explaining the 190 visa (https://www.homeaffairs.gov.au/trav/visa-1/190-#tab-content-1), it clearly states "Your documents do not have to be certified".

Anyway, I'll just get to it ,since that's what they're asking for. I'm not sure who i should ask to certify my documents. Can I get a person who is a registered Australian CPA ICertified Practising Accountant) or Australian registered pharmacist but living abroad to certify my documents for me?

Thank you for your help!

Yes, you can. But you don't need your documents to be certified. They can be good quality colour scans of original documents.

That's a relief to know! Thank you Jeremy.
