Frequently Asked Questions

Do copies need certifying?

Usually yes — recently certified copies of ID and certificates. Check the specific body's requirements, which can change.

What delays applications most?

Missing subject qualifications for the claimed scope, and expired or uncertified copies. Fix both before submitting.
