If you're spending all that time and money on the application that I
would follow the list as specified by the immigration site. If not,
they could push your application back and make you resubmit.. for £15
do it properly.
For UK docs in the UK, its much like OZ for OZ docs.... doctors,
nurses, company director etc, but that doesn't apply to the visa
certified copies.
