That's good news! :)

Follow up: For documents with, for example, 3 pages, the annotation is located only on the third page. The notary public signed his initials on the first 2 pages. Is this what was done to your documents, as well?

Sorry if I ask too many questions. I paid thousandsss for the notarization and I hope it won't go to waste.

Thank you, @chelseaxyrene!

No. Each page is notarized. I think it has to be that way. Not just the initials.

TO mindful1,

Mine was stamped at the back. I was the one who actually requested it to be at the back so as not to cover anything (words in this case).

The notary public didn't have any stamp showing his telephone number so what i did was I sent the official receipt from the atty's office (it has tel #) and wrote some note why I included it. So there!

Just think on how to satisfy AHPRA's requirement.

Goodluck.

Ok. I will go back to the Notary Public tomorrow and have him notarize the other pages. I appreciate your answers. Thank you, @chelseaxyrene!

Hi @sendmethere!

What a great idea! Thank you! How about his office's street address? Was it present on either of the receipt or his stamp on your documents?

It was on the stamp.

Yes you have to go back because chelseaxyrene is correct and this is clear in AHPRA's website as well.

Request them to put anything that will satisfy AHPRA. Ex. TOR - put page 1 of 3, page 2 of 3 and so on.

@sendmethere: actually, I printed the instructions on certifying documents from the AHPRA website and I didn't see that specific example. Now it makes me wonder if I have the updated instructions. I'll have to check the AHPRA site the next time I log on to my computer...

[chelseaxyrene]

Certified documents must:

• Be initialed on every page by the Authorised Officer.
  
• Annotated on the last page as appropriate e.g. “I have sighted the original document and certify this to be a true copy of the original” and signed by the Authorised Officer.
  
  This is what is stated in the AHPRA website. But to be sure, just have it certified on each page so you can save time and money.

hello to all, I am a newbie here and just read almost all posts, I have started processing on my application, but I am worried since I don't have much hospital experience, does AHPRA really stick to hospital experience only? Because that was what I was told, that my chances for an approval is slim; I was a CI for 4 years, mostly on RLE exposure, but I am having a hard time securing a SOS or COE from my previous employer stating that I was assigned in the hospitals most of the time. Currently, I am working as a clinic nurse.

Please shed some light for me please.
