Certified true copies of documents

When you can't or don't want to hand over an original, authorities often accept a copy certified by a notary. We arrange certified copies and, where needed, their translation and apostille, so the original stays with you.

Commonly certified copies

  • Diplomas and transcripts
  • Birth, marriage and other certificates
  • Passports and ID cards
  • Articles of association, registration certificates, contracts
  • Property and other documents

How it works

A notary certifies a copy only after seeing the original, so we agree on the safest way to hand it over and return it. The copy can then be translated and apostilled straight away if it will be used abroad.

Frequently asked questions

Can a copy be certified from a scan?

No. A notary certifies a copy only after seeing the original. A scan is enough for the quote and preparation, but the original is needed for certification.

Can a certified copy receive an apostille?

Yes, a notary-certified copy can usually be apostilled. This is a common solution when the original cannot be sent abroad.
