These are, I imagine, apostilled originals, but should it not be photocopies and not photographs??????????

Its' a website..... and it's huge...and it full of error... so i basically have to make my own decisions, otherwise I will have to charge for a week's labour in writing notes....:-(

Hi Lia. I'm inclined to agree with you on photocopies...but what is this for? The way it's written, in brackets, makes you think that both refer to the "passat original" and, unless the same bloke as b4 still has the kodak shop, it doesn�t make sense...

BUT!!!!!! what good is a photo as evidence of a police record,,,,, and photos aren't apostilled,,,,,,,,, it's docuemnts.

I went through this process years ago.....it don't make snese to have 3 photos...photos accompany applications...not documents that have already been issued

apostilled originals and three photographs

Seems to make sense in view of the other answers.

Oops: original (singular).

In Spain, people seems to want three or six photos for everything.

I guess either they mean "the apostilled original document AND (as a separate thing)three photographs".

OR... as you say it could quite possibly be a mistake.

A good case for checking with the author, I'd say.
Peer comment(s):

agree Martin Perazzo : If in doubt, add a Translator's Note indicating: Source document says "photographs".

agree Berni Armstrong : Could it be three photographs of the candidate, not the document? Which they will then attach to photocopies they make of the apostillated original?
