I have been asked to provide certified documentation. What does this mean?
In some cases where we are unable to complete our identity checks online we will require hard copies of drivers license or passport to be sent in via post with completed certification.
Certification must include the name, signature, and the date of certification. The trusted referee must specify their capacity to act as a trusted referee. Certification must have been carried out in the three months preceding the presentation of the copied documents.
The trusted referee must sight the original documentary identification, and make a statement to the effect that the documents provided are a true copy and represent the identity of the named individual (link to the presenter).

a) Commonwealth representative (as defined in the Oaths and Declarations Act 1957)
b) Member of the police
