I am uploading all my documents and they indicate I am within the criteria set out for the application.

1. So on the ukvcas site, do I have to upload the same document (passport) for both the categories (Passport and Proof of living)? OR is uploading the passport against the passport category enough? You only need to upload the whole passport ONCE. 2. I am also planning to upload my P60s as proof of ...

Hi,

Do I need to sign on the back of the photo and then glue the photo on the referee declarations?
Or do I just ignore the sign (on the back of the photo) part?

Thank you.

Hello again, Only a few pages of my passport are stamped, remaining are blank. Do I need to scan the stamped pages only or do I need to scan all of the pages of the passport? My point being, they may verify the entry and exit stamps against the entry and exit dates on the form. But would they not w...

You need to find a way to make those that don't fit the size limit less than 6MB - maybe scan those again in black and white and/or in lower resolution. The system will reject them if bigger than 6MB.

Yes, understood.
Thank you @contorted_svy

You can scan in colour but there is a size limit of 6MB, that is why they recommend to upload documents scanned in black and white. As far as you respect the size limit, you can upload in colour if you wish, but not necessary. Yeah, thats what I thought. Its just that I already had the documents sc...

When you submit your online application the button "submit" is your attest the the facts being true and correct. This includes the documents you upload. They don't need to be certified.

Understood. Cool, thank you.

Ask all of your questions in this thread - no issues. What do you mean by "self-attested"? What documents are you thinking of providing?

By self-attested, I meant, signed by myself (before scanning and uploading).
