Notarially certified copies of passports, birth certificates, academic qualifications, and all important documents. Recognised by institutions worldwide.
A certified true copy is a photocopy of an original document that has been compared to the original by a Notary Public, who then certifies in writing that the copy is a true, complete, and accurate reproduction of the original.
Many institutions — particularly overseas universities, employers, government bodies, and financial institutions — require certified copies of documents rather than originals, to avoid originals being lost in transit or retained.
A notarially certified copy carries far greater legal weight than a simple photocopy, and is internationally recognised as proof that the copy accurately represents the original document.
