This service helps avoid the risks associated with sharing important original documents.

At 1800 Notary, we offer Certified True Copy services that authenticate copies of your documents with our official signature, seal, and a validating statement. This ensures that the copy you submit is an accurate and trustworthy reproduction of the original document.

What is a Certified True Copy?

A Certified True Copy is an official duplicate of an original document that is verified and certified by a Notary Public. It assures that the copy is a true and authentic representation of the original document, and it holds the same legal weight as the original. In Ontario, for a document to be certified as a true copy, it must be verified by an authorized professional, such as a Notary Public. At 1800 Notary, we certify your documents by applying our signature and seal, confirming that the copy is a precise reproduction of the original.

Why Do You Need a Certified True Copy?

Certified true copies are often required in a variety of situations where documents need to be submitted for official use. Here are some common scenarios where certified copies are necessary:

• International Visa Applications: When applying for a visa, authorities often require certified copies of documents like passports, birth certificates, and marriage certificates. These verified copies are essential for processing your visa application.

• Academic and Employment Purposes: Foreign universities may request certified copies of your degree or academic transcripts for admission purposes. Similarly, employers may require certified copies of vocational certificates to confirm your qualifications before offering a position.

• Government and Regulatory Requirements: Regulatory bodies, such as licensing authorities, often require certified copies of personal identity documents or qualifications to ensure compliance with legal or professional standards.

• Everyday Uses: Certified copies are sometimes needed in routine matters, such as enrolling a child in school or proving your residency. Documents like lease agreements or utility bills may need to be submitted as certified copies for these situations.
