Create a document folder
Keep a clear record of the academic and identity documents you already have. Store originals securely and use readable copies when requested.
Check the exact requirements
Every institution and programme may ask for different documents. Request a current checklist rather than assuming that one list applies everywhere.
Use consistent details
Review the spelling of your name, qualification titles and dates across your documents. Raise inconsistencies before submission.
Plan translations early
Ask whether certified translations or verification are needed for your specific application. Confirm the accepted format before paying for a service.
Protect your information
Share sensitive records only through a confirmed channel and with the people who need them. Do not send passports, financial records or other sensitive documents through a general enquiry form.
