Directorate of Immigration: International protection

What documents do I need to submit in the original for an application for international protection?

Applicants for international protection are less required to submit original documents due to their vulnerable status. Therefore, no requirements are made for submitting original documents other than passports or other travel documents, should you have them. However, original documents or certified copies can increase the credibility of your statement.

Note that other conditions apply for applications for international protection on the grounds of family reunification.
