Third Party Authorisation Form

When submitting a Third Party Authorisation form, you are required to upload a certified copy of one of the following forms of photo ID to prove your identity:

• Valid passport, or
• Current Australian driver's licence, or
• Current UNSW Student ID Card – only applicable to students who graduated or were enrolled within the last 6 months.

 Your request cannot be processed until:

• Certified documentary evidence bearing the signature of a Justice of the Peace is provided, or
• If you are in China, your identity documents are certified by an authorised officer, or
• You provide consent for UNSW to verify the validity of your documents using the DVS*. In this case, you are only required to submit a photocopy of your document

^{*The Document Verification Service (DVS) is managed by the Commonwealth Attorney-General’s Department. The DVS confirms that the details on an identity document such as a passport or driver’s licence match the record held by the government authority that issued it. More information about the DVS is available at www.dvs.gov.au.}

The certifying officer must:

• Write on the copy "This is a true copy of the original documents sighted by me."
• Sign and print their name
• Provide an address and a contact telephone number
• State their profession or occupation group
• Write on the copy the date certified
• Affix the official stamp or seal of the certifier's organisation on the copy.
