Certified True Copy Services

Secure, Reliable Notarized Copies of Your Important Documents

In many situations, you may be required to submit important documents such as your passport, birth certificate, ID card, or academic records as part of an application or for official purposes. Instead of submitting the original, a certified true copy (also called a notarized copy) is often sufficient — and much safer.

Submitting a certified copy helps you avoid the risk of losing or damaging your original documents, which can be costly and time-consuming to replace.

What Is a Certified True Copy?

A certified true copy is a photocopy of an original document that has been verified as a genuine reproduction by a Notary Public. At Notary Lawyer Mississauga, we certify documents by:

  • Comparing the photocopy to the original
  • Affixing a notary seal, signature, and certification statement
  • Ensuring authenticity for the receiving institution

This process gives confidence to whoever receives the document that it matches the original.

When Is a Certified Copy Required?

Certified true copies are commonly needed for:

  • University or college applications (especially abroad)
  • Job applications requiring proof of qualifications
  • Professional licensing bodies (e.g., engineers, healthcare workers)
  • Government processes, like visa or immigration applications
  • School enrollment (e.g., proof of residence through lease or utility bills)
  • Ongoing financial or legal reporting, such as stock exchange filings

Certified Copies for International Use

For documents to be accepted in foreign countries, they may also need to be:

  • Apostilled under the Hague Convention (for countries that recognize it), or
  • Legalized at an embassy or consulate (for countries outside the Hague Convention)
