AFAIK no hard copies are needed. You need to scan all documents and upload.

i was filing the online application and noticed they have specifically mentioned the below lines.So these docs are not required? i unnecessarily notarised all these documents (around 80+ pages) .

Can someone confirm that these docs are not asked for at a later stage?can i just upload only the reference/SD docs and file the application?


Please Note - The following list of documents are not assessable.
Please DO NOT Submit: - Employment Contracts / Payslips / Bank Statements / Letters of offer / Resignation Letters / Performance Reviews or Appraisals / Service Certificates

Hii ACS will not ask these documents for Assessment, However the CO may ask these documents as evidence to prove you employment.

Please upload only reference or SD for each employement..
