Hello ulit, ganto na ba pag attach ng documents ngayon? ayaw na ng PDF?

"In line with the department's requirements, the document provided has been converted to an acceptable format that now appears as displayed below. Confirm that the image and any text displayed is clear for the department to use in identifying the applicant.File upload confirmation - Proof of Identity
Each page within the provided PDF file has been converted to a separate JPG image."

each page ay naging jpeg?

CHineck ko yung akin now. Puro JPG nga lahat. Di ko na maalala if jpeg talaga ginawa ko or PDF. I think kasi talagang jpeg inattach ko.

May ganto ba yung mga filename? ".pdf_PAGE_1.jpg", ".pdf_PAGE_2.jpg"

ini-split din nya per page.

Ako inignore ko lang kasi naka attach naman na lahat. And wala din naman akong child na sinama sa application. Hindi applicable sa akin.

Hi All, Checking if there's anyone with a similar experience and can share what document they submitted for the citizenship application. The passports we used when doing our initial entry already expired and we have been using a new passport for a few years now. In submitting the initial entry evidence, we don't have any stamp on our old passports upon entry. Do we submit the profile page of the old passports or the new passports would also be okay as it is linked to the visas we have held? If the profile page of the old passport would do, is that sufficient? Thanks!

Just provide the scan of the bio page of the old passport. Nasa electronic record naman lahat ng entry and exit using that passport.

Ramekins · July 2022

Thank you @cucci!

xiaolico · July 2022

I did the same thing. Old expired passport na walang tatak. Ok naman

Yup jpg din in my case. Most likely kc mas madali or common maglagay ng malware sa PDF vs JPG.

Question guys, nag apply ako ng citizenship last July 4, then uuwi kasi ako ng pinas ng last week ng Oct until 2nd week ng Feb next year. If ever ba na hindi ako mainvite for exam and makakuha ng approval before ako umuwi ma apektuhan ba yung application ko since more than 90 days ako mawawala sa Aus?
