You will need to submit a VERIFIED (JP etc) copy of your logbook, or relevant endorsements. I got 3 different requests from 3 numpties at CASA, and eventually got most of my aircraft types converted - but as I did not send copies of many hours shown for many types flown, they only "gave" me recognition for some aircraft. So if your logbook isn't too thick, copy the whole thing....
Verified copies of your FAA certificates, and some more $ so CASA can verify them again from the US.
Good luck. This is recent info, but who knows with CASA. Still, if you can't take a joke, then aviation isn't for you anyway!!
