No original documents are submitted - you upload scans of your documents.

thank you for your response.


also please advice about the referee form which i filled online, do i need to send physical referee forms with the applicant picture and signed by the referees?

Once your referees have signed the forms you will also scan and load them online.
Keep the originals in case they may be requested, however haven't this this happen at all.
