ACS Digital signature not provided - how can I submit my documents to ACS?

[RedCrow]

Dear friends,

since ACS modified the guidelines for the skills assessment, I read here https://www.acs.org.au/msa/skills-faqs.html::
"ACS does not require documents to be certified as true copies of the original. Documents need to be submitted as high quality colour scans."

Also, in their guidelines I read: "If submitting electronic documents with digital signatures, it must be verifiable".

All my employment reference letters are in the right format and they include e-signatures as images of the signature of the HR director or similar.
However they are not digitally signed, I can't verify them with any PDF software.
I asked the new documents digitally signed, but all my previous employers cannot provide verifiable digital signatures.

How can I submit my documents to ACS being sure they will not refused for this reason?
Is there a procedure my previous employer could follow to make the documents valid?
Can I still print them and certify them as "true copies" through a lawyer? What can I do?

Many thanks

e-signature and digital signatuers are different. As long as this e-signature looks like a real signature, you are good ot go with the same. If it is digitally signed, then it needs to be verified
