Can I send one patent in place of its counterpart or family member?

No. Although the patents may be nearly identical, there may be slight differences in the text since they were filed in different patent offices and/or with different patent numbers.  One patent, therefore, can not be used as a substitute when filling in the information or uploading a copy of another patent.  For the same reason, counterparts or family members cannot be accepted as translations.
