When a Territorial Authority (TA) cannot perform online certification, they will send the surveyor a paper or manual TA certification. This will need to be scanned and attached as a supporting document to the survey.
You can attach the certificate to the survey yourself before submission, or via an Approved CSD correction/amendment request after approval. Alternatively, the TA can attach it from their end.
If you have submitted your survey and need to add a manual TA certification, you will need to raise a Return Survey Dataset request to return the survey to your workspace before you can attach it. See:
Return a survey dataset
Editable templates for manual or paper TA certification can be found here:

How to attach a paper or manual TA certification to an approved survey
A surveyor can't add or replace a manual TA certification to a survey once it has been approved, as the survey is no longer in the surveyor’s workspace.
To attach or replace a certification to an approved survey either:
Raise an Approved CSD correction/amendment request from your Requests application. Include a scanned PDF image of the new TA certification so LINZ can add or replace the existing certification.
For more information on survey requests, see:
Requests for Survey
- Send the scanned TA certification to the Territorial Authority and ask them to attach it to the survey as a supporting document. The TA can search for the approved survey in their workspace.
