| Each dependant | Birth certificate · passport | Medical examination |
| All non-English documents | Certified English translation | Certification by the relevant mission where applicable |
The dependant age question

Practical notes for families
One deposit covers the family. The USD 200,000 requirement applies to the primary applicant only.
Every applicant, children included, must be cleared by an authorised local hospital.

Common mistakes
Key Takeaway
| Mistake | Why it hurts | Do instead |
|---|---|---|
| Assuming an 18-year age limit | No limit is published on the current page | Get written confirmation for older children |
| One clearance for the couple | Both spouses need their own certificate | Order both against the same submission date |
| Translating documents last | Certified translation is the classic late delay | Order translations as soon as certificates exist |
Tip

Unclear. The current page publishes no age limit. Earlier references suggested 16 and below. Confirm in writing with the Department.
Do children need police clearance?
