Upload your documents to My Applications

What documents do I need to upload?

Photo ID

Issued by a government agency or professional institution showing your name, date of birth, and a clear image of your face.

Examples include your photocard driving licence (full or provisional), passport, national ID card, or Young Scot card.

Proof of address

Any company headed letter or document showing:

• your full name and the address stated on your application
• a date in the last month (date only required for courses which require a PVG check)

Examples include a utility bill, finance letter, or medical letter. We can also accept an online bank statement.

If there is information you would prefer to keep private (for example, financial information), you may redact sensitive information provided the document can still be clearly identified.

Proof of nationality (PVG courses only)

Your current passport, birth certificate, or national ID card. This document must not be the same document used for photo ID or proof of address.

We are unable to accept expired documents.

Proof of name change (if applicable)

If the name on any of your documents does not match the name given on your application, we need legal documentation which shows that both names belong to you.

If this applies to you, please contact us and we will add space for you to upload proof of this change.

Examples include your new birth certificate (if you changed your name in Scotland and your old name is shown at the bottom), deed poll (if you changed your name in England, Wales, or Northern Ireland), or your certificate of marriage, civil partnership, or divorce.

Qualifications

We do not receive all qualifications from UCAS and so you must provide us with your certificate.

Examples of the most common qualifications we do receive from UCAS are:

• SQA Highers and Advanced Highers
• A Levels and AS levels
• Pearson BTECs
• UAL Level 3 Diplomas
• Welsh Baccalaureate
• OCR Diplomas
• Irish Leaving Certificates
• CACHE level 3 Diplomas
• Access to HE Diplomas

If you are not sure whether you need to upload your certificate, if it is not listed on UCAS' Sending Exam Results page, then please do.

If your qualifications are shown across multiple documents, you will need to combine them into one file (preferably in PDF or Word format) so you can upload them to My Applications.

Upload from your computer

The file you upload cannot be cropped; we need to see the full document. If there is information you would prefer to keep private (for example, financial information), you may redact sensitive information provided the document can still be clearly identified.

Each upload slot can only hold one document. If you upload something into the wrong slot, don’t worry. If all the documents we need are uploaded, you don’t need to contact us.

If you upload the wrong file, or you run out of upload slots, please contact us and we can add additional slots to My Applications.

1. Scan or take photos of your documents
   Be sure to get the full document in, making sure no details are hidden, blurry or obscured by light. Email these to yourself and save to a file on your desktop. It’s useful to name the files according to what it is e.g. ‘passport’.
2. Sign into eVision

Combine multiple documents

We know that your qualifications may be shown across multiple documents however, there is only one slot for you to upload them to My Applications.

You will need to merge all your certificates (e.g. all your GCSE certificates, your A-level certificates, and your degree certificate) into one document, in either PDF or Word format, before you can upload them.

Combine files in Google Docs

Google Docs is available to download free on Android 5.0+ and iOS 11+. On desktop, Google Docs works with Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Internet Explorer 11, and Microsoft Edge.

1. Open Google Docs in your browser to download the app on mobile or open on your desktop. Start a new blank document.
2. Insert the various images of your documents, one on each page. Make sure the images are as large and clear as possible.
