You will need to gather extensive documentation to prove your relationship to your sponsor and your eligibility:

• Identity Documents: Valid passports, recent photographs, and birth certificates for all applicants.
• Relationship Evidence: Birth certificates of your children showing your parentage and evidence of your children’s Australian citizenship or permanent residency status.
• Balance of Family Proof: Documentation for all your children (including deceased or estranged children), such as birth certificates, passports, or death certificates, to satisfy the family ratio requirement.
• Financial and Sponsorship Docs: A signed sponsorship form from your child and evidence of their "settled" status (e.g., utility bills, employment contracts, or lease agreements covering the last two years).
• Assurance of Support: Evidence of the sponsor's income (tax assessments) and the bank guarantee for contributory subclasses.
• Character Documents: Police clearances from every country where you have lived for 12 months or more over the last 10 years.
• Translations: Any document not in English must be accompanied by an accredited English translation.
