Proof of Home Ties: Comprehensive: how it works in Australia — first-hand
Short answer
Provide extensive evidence of ties to your home country, such as property deeds, vehicle registrations, and stable employment documents, uploading them under the financial status section. You should also include proof of marriage and, if applicable, photos with pets or details of travel buddies to strengthen your application.
From real experience
For Australian visa applications, strong ties to your home country are crucial.
Provide evidence such as rental agreements (even historical ones), property deeds, car ownership, stable employment, or business income. Including documentation of pets is also advisable, as it demonstrates commitment. It's better to over-document than under-document your ties to your home country.

For Australian visa applications (Subclass 600):
- A police certificate is generally not required unless specifically requested by the immigration authorities.
Check the official visa application guidelines for your specific subclass.
- Old passports (over 10 years old) and expired visas are typically not required unless they are significant to your travel history. Focus on recent and relevant documents.
- Marriage certificates do not require notarization. A translated copy should be submitted along with the scanned original.
- For child applicants (6 years old), a sponsorship letter is not required as it is assumed the parents are financially responsible.
- Vehicle ownership documents: The Certificate of Registration (STS) is usually sufficient; a Vehicle Passport (PTS) may not be necessary.

To demonstrate strong ties to the home country for Australian visa applications, applicants can include property ownership documents (real estate, vehicles).
While specific upload sections for these might not be explicit, they can potentially be uploaded under 'Evidence of the financial status and funding for visit' or mentioned in the cover letter. If a family member has ETA eligibility, listing them as a 'travel buddy' on other family members' visa applications can strengthen the application by showing group travel plans and intention to return. Honesty and full declaration of all items (as per customs regulations) are highly valued by Australian authorities.
