Need a Certified True Copy for a government agency, school, employer, bank, immigration application, professional organization, or another institution in Canada or abroad? Royal Seal Notary Public provides Certified True Copy services in Oshawa for individuals and businesses.

A Certified True Copy is a photocopy that has been compared with the original document and certified by a Notary Public as a true copy of the original presented. It confirms that the copy matches the original document, but does not verify the accuracy of the information contained in it.

Common documents include:

• Passports and driver's licences
• Birth and marriage certificates
• Diplomas, degrees, and transcripts
• Citizenship and immigration documents
• Professional licences and certificates
• Business and corporate documents
• Other official records

What to bring:

• The original document
• Your photocopies, if available
• Any instructions, email, or checklist from the organization requesting the certified copy

Photocopying and printing are also available at the office.

Important to know:

• Copies may be certified in colour or black and white.
• Some organizations may require a specific format, so it is best to confirm their requirements.
• If several documents or pieces of identification are placed on one page, each may require separate certification and applicable fees.
• For multi-page documents, each group of up to four pages is treated as a separate document for pricing purposes.
• Documents intended for use outside Canada may also require an apostille, authentication, translation, or other additional steps.

If you have been asked for a “certified copy,” “true copy,” or “notarized copy” and are not sure what you need, bring the instructions you received. We can help you understand the service being requested.
