Many authorities, universities and banks ask for a certified true copy rather than the original. A certified copy protects your originals and can often be legalized or translated in the same way.
We check which certification the receiving authority accepts, arrange the certified copy, and add a certified translation or legalization if your file needs it.

Frequently asked questions
Is a certified copy the same as a notarized copy?
The terms are often used interchangeably, but authorities differ in who they accept as certifier. We check the requirement for your destination before certifying.
Can a certified copy be legalized?
In many cases, yes. A certified copy can often be attested or apostilled so that it can be used abroad without sending the original.
