From 1 October 2006 the Migration Regulations 1994 will be amended to provide that registered migration agents, in Australia and outside Australia, may certify copies of original documents that relate to visa applications, provided that their registration is not currently suspended and they are not subject to a caution that is in effect.
Details of this change can be found on the department's website.
