The wording on the back of the photograph, or on the form, must state that the signatory “certifies the photograph to be a true likeness of (name of the individual)” Staff cannot attest or certify that the photograph is “a true photo of” (name of individual). An example is for photographs to be attached to an Australian Drivers Licence application form, or for an overseas citizen to be registered as an approved practitioner by an Australian organisation – like the Dental Association. The individual in the photograph must be physically present for a photograph to be certified.
