Being efficient gov staff, surely the notification of a submission comes up and they jump on it straight away.......?!
Yep - exactly as you said. Luckily we have some cool printer/scanners at work. I can print it, sign it, check it, and scan it back into a pdf.
I also understand we get the police cert, colour scan it and upload it? (not sure where I got colour from.. maybe that was the police cert itself asked for colour scans) - either way, they're getting a lovely, crisp colour scan!
I know it's not the end - but there is a great feeling that SOMEONE looked at your file after 6 months or more just sitting in the corner, gathering digital dust.
