What is a proof of lodgement?

A proof of lodgement is a document or receipt that confirms the submission or filing of a particular item, such as an application, claim, or legal document, with a relevant authority. It serves as evidence that the document was submitted, often including details like the date and time of lodgement, the name of the submitting party, and any reference numbers. This proof is important for tracking and verifying the status of the submission throughout the processing period.
