I have questions about declaration. If the notary public can only provide a standard statement of '... a true copy of the original document' instead of the required '.... true copy of the original document sighted'. Will that be OK? As according to the notary public I consulted, they only need to see the photocopies and even I bring both the originals and the photocopies, they will still give me the same statement i.e. without the word 'sighted'.

Will the NZ board accept it? Anyone has the documents declared without the exact wordings but were still accepted by the board.

I am getting frustrated as the NZ board has revised the competencies and the old one will only be used if the application is received by them by 1 Sept 2009. And I don't think I will have all the stuff ready by that time. The new competencies seem more specific 'items' on physiotherapy management. As my university no longer keeps my student placement reports and at that time, the students were not allowed to possess any of those copies, I don't have much documents to give evidence on those specific, precise items.

Thanks in advance.
