Questions
Do documents need to be translated or attested?+
Documents not in English need a certified translation. Australia does not require Indian notarisation or apostille for most visa documents, but colour scans of originals are expected.
Can I upload documents after lodging?+
Yes, in ImmiAccount until a decision is made. Officers can decide on what is in the file at the time, so lodge complete rather than relying on later uploads.
