Referee’s details - can I fill them in?

Hello,

My referee recently signed my application but didn’t have his past addresses info with him at that time. He has since emailed the details to me. Just wanted to check if I can fill these in on page 15 or should I get him to do this?

Thanks.

NARIC certification may not be required if your degree is recognised on PBS calculator. However do take print out of PBS calcultor showing that it awards you 10 points for English language.
