Notary NexusWhat is a certified true copy?
A certified true copy is a copy that has been compared with an original document and certified as a true copy. Receiving organizations determine whether they will accept a certified copy and may impose specific wording or professional requirements.
What to bring
- The original document—not a photograph or ordinary scan
- Any instructions from the organization requesting the copy
- Valid identification if requested for the transaction
Please tell us where the copy will be submitted and whether it will be used outside Canada. Some documents may require a different process, and some originals may not be eligible for certification.
