HOW TO CERTIFY YOUR DOCUMENTS.

As part of the E4 Healthcare registration process, there are two documents that need to be certified. These are the 100 point ID check and the Criminal Statutory Declaration. If these documents are not certified, they cannot be accepted and the registration cannot be completed.

Instructions on how to certify your documents:
• Make a copy (photocopy) of the original documents - Such as your passport, drivers licence, medicare card etc for the 100 point ID check and your completed statutory declaration form
• Take the original document and your copy to an Authorised Officer (please see list below) who can certify documents.

• The Authorised Officer will:
• check your copy is the same as the original
• visually compare your face against the photograph on any identity document to confirm that you are the person pictured in any of the documents with a photograph, and
