Notary services and certified true copies

Many procedures require a certified true copy instead of the original — for example when you need to keep your diploma or passport while submitting documents abroad. A notary certifies that the copy matches the original, and this copy can then be translated, apostilled or legalized.

We coordinate the notarial acts with partner notaries and combine them with translation and legalization, so the whole package is consistent and accepted on the first submission.

What is included

  • Certified true copies of personal and corporate documents
  • Certification of signatures on applications and statements
  • Notarization of translations
  • Preparation of documents for subsequent apostille or legalization
  • Coordination of appointments with partner notaries

Typical documents

  • Passports and IDs
  • Diplomas and certificates
  • Employment records
  • Company statutes and extracts
  • Applications and declarations
  • Consents for travel of minors

Frequently asked questions

Can any document be copied and certified by a notary?

Most official documents can, but some — for example certain identity documents for use abroad — have restrictions. We check before the appointment.

Do I have to be present at the notary?

For copies, your presence is not always required. For signature certification and powers of attorney the signatory must appear in person with a valid ID.

Can the certified copy be apostilled?

Yes, notarial copies can usually be apostilled, which is a convenient way to keep your original document at home.
