Hi everyone, I just started my IQAS process for me and my wife, I'm asking about if I can send all required doc for both of us in one courier envelop as:
1- For me one envelope contains (University sealed doc + requested signed form and doc)
2- For my wife one envelope contains (University sealed doc + requested signed form and doc)
all will be in the same courier envelope, is it ok ? Or do I have to separate them.

What I did was pack individual papers in respective envelopes (one for me+one for spouse) clearly displayed with our file numbers on front and back. I also inserted a blank paper in each envelope with respective names, file numbers and list of documents inside written on them. Then put them in a bigger envelope mentioning it has 2 applications inside + application numbers + IQAS address.

Then the courier services put it inside their own envelope with IQAS address and application numbers, both.

Presently, one application is done and another is under process. No hiccups.

I read many people suggested it is okay. But recently I came across 2 cases wherein IQAS mentions they received only one applicants docs. Where as 2 applicants docs were sent.

I would suggest you to send 2 different envelopes. I understand it will be expensive. But I would prefer time over money. If they denied receiving anyones doc, you will have to go through the same process again, collecting docs and sending parcel.

Still you can make your call considering your situation.

I will go with your advice, to be in safe side as it is already expensive process, can I state that the sender was my university?

Well, I was paranoid about losing any document en route. Hence I did the above mentioned steps. They might seem extra, but I thought they were the least I could do at that time.

Sender name was just you or university?

Mention university and from address should be of university too.

About transcripts, ours were sent directly by our universities.
When you are sending transcripts by hand, put them in the same envelope as everything else. You cannot say that the same envelope was sent by university, who also packed your application documents for you.
Also, IQAS do not demand transcripts sent by university, they just need them sealed and stamped by the university. People are sending themselves, you can send yourself.

Yes this can be done too. I've read some people doing this and getting the same result.

In my case, I will get my transcripts sealed and stamped from my university, and for that reason I asked because it doesn't make sense that my university also send my document along with their.

You can put all required documents viz
Application
Payment receipt
Passport copy
Credentials copy etc
& Transcripts
in a single envelope and seal it. Do not forget to mention your name and file number on it + IQAS address if you can.
Do the same for your spouse.

Pack both envelopes in a bigger one, mention it having two files (with file numbers) and IQAS address of course. Send it with DHL or FedEx as they are reputable and give accurate information.
