Any official documentation included with your application must be verified as a true and accurate copy. Do not send originals as UTC does not return documents. Documents not correctly verified will result in delays in the processing of your application and its consideration for admission.  
 

Who can verify copies for you?  

• The official records department of the institution that originally issued the document/s.  
• Anyone currently employed as a professional person.  
• A bank manager or a credit union branch manager; accountant (must be a member of a professional organisation); barrister, solicitor or patent attorney; police officer of the rank of sergeant and above; postal manager; principal of an Australian secondary college, high school, primary school or TAFE college.  
• A Justice of the Peace with a registration number. 
  
  

How should the authorised officer verify each document?  

1. They must write ‘This is a true copy of the original document sighted by me’.
2. Sign, and print the following details: name, address, business hours telephone number, profession or occupation or organisation and the date verified. They must include the official stamp or seal of the verifier’s organisation on the copy if the organisation has such a stamp.
3. 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.
