Notarised Copies: Why and How to Get Them?

Notary

We frequently receive inquiries about getting notarised copies of documents, such as qualifications, ID documents, contracts, for legal or administrative purposes and many other kinds of documents. Notarised copies are a practical way to provide proof of your qualifications or other essential documents, and they are often required for visa applications, job applications, and other legal purposes. In this blog post, I’ll explain what notarised copies are, why you might need them, and how to get them.

What are notarised copies?

A notarised copy is a photocopy of a document certified by a notary public or other authorised person. The notary public will check the original document to ensure that it is authentic, then make a photocopy and attach a certificate to the copy to confirm that it is a true and accurate copy of the original. The certificate will include the notary’s signature, seal, and other identifying information. If the Notary Public is unable to verify the authenticity, he will not be able to certify it without a clarification in his certificate that he has not verified its authenticity. Please contact us at Holborn Notary with your specific queries and copies of documents and we will advise you further.
