Certified true copies
Notarized copies and certified copies from official registries.
Many institutions won't accept the original document, or you may need to keep it. In that case you submit a certified true copy: a copy that a notary (notarized copy) or the issuing body certifies as identical to the original. We obtain the copies and, if they are for use abroad, also the apostille or legalization and the translation.

Frequently asked questions
Can a notarized copy be apostilled?
In many cases yes, once the notary's signature is legalized. It depends on the document and the destination; we confirm beforehand.
What's the difference between a notarized copy and a certified copy?
A notarized copy is certified by a notary; a certified copy is issued by the body itself (e.g. a registry or university). Institutions accept one or the other.
