Supporting documents

You'll be asked to upload digital copies of your documents as part of the online application process.

The outcome of your application can't be confirmed until you've provided all the required documents and you've ticked the relevant statement boxes.

Read on to find out what you need to include.

How to supply documents

You can upload high-quality copies of your documents in your application. To be accepted, your uploaded document must be:

• a high quality copy
  A high-quality scan is one that is clear with all important information visible and legible.
• in one of the following formats: JPEG, BMP, GIF, PNG, PDF, TIFF
• between 1 and 10 MB in size
• clearly named in English with a brief description.

We can accept high-resolution photos of your document/s if they are clear, legible and show all relevant document information.

We do not accept documents that are:

• low-quality copies that impact the readability of important information required for assessment
• encrypted or compressed files.

If we determine that a document does not meet our requirements, we'll request a resubmission of the document, which may delay the processing of your application.

If an original document is not in English, a corresponding official English translation by a professional translator must be supplied. Both the original and the translated documents need to be provided.

What documents to supply

Official academic transcripts

Transcripts can be from a tertiary degree, postgraduate or professional body qualification. We will only accept high-quality copies of official transcripts or certified digital transcripts such as those provided by My eQuals.

Evidence of degree completion

If you've completed your degree, you may need to provide an official degree award certificate. If you've completed an accredited degree in Australia, New Zealand or Hong Kong, we can accept a completion letter that states the degree is ‘complete’, ‘conferred’ or ‘degree awarded’. We may be able to accept similar transcripts for other overseas qualifications without the need for the degree certificate/testamur. These can be assessed on a case-by-case basis where the certificate/testamur is not available.

Proof of identity

If you haven't completed the online identity verification, please provide one of the following documents:

• passport (ID page)
• national ID card
• birth certificate
• drivers licence (with photo).

Public practitioners

In either Australia or New Zealand, if you are acting as a principal in public practice or undertaking any accounting services in your own right, you will need to upload the following information:

• details of your role and ownership
• outline of the services offered to the public
• confirmation that you hold a public practice certificate (PPC).

• the date your membership fee is paid until
• confirmation that you are not a member of your professional body by virtue of a mutual recognition agreement
