  2. Scan the passport, degree, transcript and supporting records in colour at readable resolution.
  3. Compare the spelling of your name across every document and record any mismatch early.
  4. Ask the receiving institution whether certified translations, legalization or recognition are required.
  5. Name files consistently and keep an untouched master copy.
  6. Submit through the official portal and save the application confirmation.
