This email is to advise that your documents are not certified copies. We require certified copies of your documentation to process your skills assessment. A document is a certified copy when the original document is photo copied or scanned and is signed by a person authorised to certify documents.
A stamp is required on the certified copy to signify that it is a true copy of the original document.
The following information is required on each page of the certified copy:
The words “Certified True Copy of the Original”
The signature of the certifying person
The name, date and provider or registration number or designation (eg: Police Officer) of the certifying person.
Legal professionals and embassy officials can provide further information regarding certifying documents outside Australia.
Please upload the following documents into the online application form in PDF format:
Certified copy of your passport
Certified copy of your degree certificate
Certified copy of the complete and final academic transcript for your degree.
Certified copy of employer reference
Please Note: the ACS is unable to accept letters of appointment, self-statutory declarations or contracts in place of employment references.
If there is no response within 30 days of this notification, your application will not be able to be assessed.
*** ano po bang ibig sabihin nila ng certified true copy with stamp exactly? i sent them every page of my passport, yung degree certificate ko may "seal" naman saka pirma ng mga principal at president ng school ko, pati transcript etc
*** nagpagawa po ako sa boss ko ng statutory declaration, whereas siya ang afiant. bakit po nila sinasabi na self-statutory declaration yung ginawa ko
Please po, sana may mag magandang loob sa inyo. Kulang na kami sa 30 days tapos xmas vacation pa Saan po ba ako nagkamali at ano ang dapat "exactly" gawin?
Thanks in advance. Merry Xmas!

Thanks for the reply. I'm actually not planning to include the customer service rep as I know it's not relevant for job code 263111. What I'm really worried of is if the technical support rep, which I will include a detailed job description such as configuring residential network equipment, will be considered by ACS. Because with my current job as a network engineer (this time it's far more hardcore; configuring PE and CE routers for BGP over MPLS network as well as carrier-grade switches), I only have 2 years and 4 months which may not be enough to get the threshold of 3 years relevant experience. But I'm still looking positively on that. Have you heard of someone here with the same call center experience got credit for such job? Thanks thanks!

Natnor, confirmed ba na pwede na yung stamp ng lawyer with "certified true copy" on each page of the documents? Ayoko na kasi bumalik sa mga institutions para mag certify dahil super gahol na kami sa time, and i'm pretty sure di na kami maasikaso dahil magpapasko na. Sorry for the persistence, gusto ko lang maka siguro kung pwede kasi ibang paraan yung ginawa ni betchay. Thanks!

I have a feeling baka hindi tanggapin ng ACS, dahil gusto nila naka stamp on each page :S
May kilala ba kayo na notary public who has a "stamp" like this?

What I failed to find in that thread is a suggestion of a law office/notarial service who has this STAMP, similar to what I attached earlier. I have been to 3 notarial services and was turned down. One of them gave me an affidavit instead. But ACS clearly wants that STAMP on each page. I'm looking for a Notary Public that has this stamp.

@Abraham - I have the same doubts about going to such NP's which is why I initially opted to get certification from big corporate law offices. Unfortunately, none of them agreed to stamp each page, and no one has this kind of stamp in their possession.

However, may napuntahan ako sa Mandaluyong city hall (4th floor), meron silang ganitong stamp (kaso nung pag punta ko, wala pa daw yung pang 2014). 100 lang din per page. Madali sila kausap, just bring your original copies and no other questions asked. Look for Cathy, yung secretary ng Notary Public.
Sana OK na yung re-upload ko sa ACS website. Thanks sa lahat! @moonwitchbleu and @appledeuce
