Prepare carefully

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Treating the checklist as final

Using this general list as the authority's exact document requirement instead of a starting point.

Missing specialty-specific items

Overlooking documents such as a surgical logbook that only some categories need.

Not confirming current requirements

Preparing documents without checking they still match the authority's latest requirements.

Assuming uploads happen on this site

This website does not collect document uploads — assuming otherwise delays preparation.

Ignoring case-type differences

Using the same document set for a new application, renewal and transfer case.

Confusing readiness with verification

Treating having the documents ready as the same thing as them being verified.

When to ask for expert guidance

When to Ask for Expert Guidance
