2. Some of our "evidence" letters were sent to us by email, so we've printed them out but then we've insisted they (the empolyer or uni) send us an original copy by mail. However, they've sometimes sent us what looks like a print out of the scanned document as the signature is not in pen ink. Do you think this will be a problem? We'll be sending tax/pension info which supports the employment record so it won't be the only piece of evidence.
3. Some of our "originals" are in fact photocopies, for example I've a photocopy of an newspaper article from 2003 which supports my work evidence. Is this photocopy judged to be an "original" and how does that work for certifying the document?
Thanks for your ideas. Really trying to dot all the i s !

Concerning my IQA application though, I emailed my university, which is sending my authenticated course marks and transcripts / syllabus by email and by snail mail. Getting real originals these shouldn't be a problem.
In my opinion, supplying scanned copies or print-outs should not be a problem. Only thing to make sure is the contact details of HR person mentioned on the letters, as INZ may try to contact them to verify your claims.
