Certification of documents for ANZPAC

Hi

I just wondered if anyone had had their documents certified for the ANZPAC process and who you got to do it.

The notes on the process state: a Justice of the Peace, Peace Commissioner, Commissioner of Oaths, Notary Public, Legal Practitioner, Judge or Magistrate, Registrars or Admissions Officers of universities.

I guess it would be a soliciter or registrar or uni who would do it. I suppose these are all likely to charge for the privilege of their signatures - anyone know the going rate?

Cheers

Hi I went to the local court and the magistrate did it for me, didn't cost a penny!

 

Many Thanks - I should be able to manage that. I know a couple of magistrates anyhow (not in their official capacity I hasten to add

AHPRA also ask for certification of documents, but their list is a little more restrictive - only Justice of the Peace and Notary Public are listed for them for international applicants. Any advice? (Notary Publics seem to take 20 minutes to sign 2 documents and charge £70+vat! I'm obviously in the wrong profession!)

Cheers

 

Notary public will be your Lawyer/Solicitor. When I went through the process I just used the family Lawyer. When I made the appointment I was advised it would be £25, although I ended up getting it all done free of charge!

Good luck

 

I know this is an old thread but I wanted to ask - if you're submitting electronic versions do they also have to be certified?

Many thanks

 

Hi
I think that I only sent uncertified documents for the visa application. When I applied for ANZPAC I had to post the documents and they were certified. This is over a year ago now and so things could have changed.

Do you have a job in Australia - if so where. I am in the Riverland in South Australia,

No, I'm coming up to graduate soon so I'm looking into the anzpac assessment application. I figured it would be easiest to apply electronically but it seems a bit hazy about the certification requirements of scanned documents. Fingers crossed ill find a sponsor after its all done!

 

If you email them they will clarify the situation. You will also need to be registered with Ahpra which is like the hpc. If you're under 30 you can come on a working holiday visa or if older then one of the sponsored visas. I don't think you'll have a problem getting work especially if you are prepared to go to a rural location. One of my uk friends is leaving oz to return to the uk so they will probably be looking for someone. The practice is in Warnabool in Victoria.
Good luck.

I was told I can't register with ahpra until I'm offered a job is that right? I think it will be a 457 visa, I'm 32 and will be relocating my family with me. Its confusing, complicated but sooo exciting lol I have no problem with rural settings as long as there's access to some amenities and a school I'm all for a quiet life!

 

I already had a job offer before applying for anzpac and so Ahpra not sure. I came on a 457 visa 14 months ago and will be applying for permanent residency at the end of this year. Remember that in ACT and NSW you would have to pay for schooling but not in the other states.
Feel free to pm me any other questions you have.

all these things I'll have to research! I doubt I'll be getting a job offer anytime soon as Im not going out there for my final placement and so far havent seen any vacancies for new graduates online so I think I'll just wait til I graduate and apply for the anzpac assessment then take it from there, maybe ill be more attractive to employers if Ive already had my skills assessed (I hope!)
how are you finding it day to day - would you recommend the life?
