1. Bring the Original
The notary must see the physical, original document. We cannot certify a copy from a scan on your phone or a digital printout, as we cannot verify its authenticity.
Certified True Copies in Toronto
Whether you are applying for permanent residency through IRCC, submitting a background check for employment, or applying to a university abroad, you will likely need a certified true copy. Our Toronto notaries provide legally binding certifications confirming that a photocopy is an exact, unaltered reproduction of the original document.

How Certified Copies Work
2. The Notary's Seal
The notary applies a stamp stating they have viewed the original and the copy is true and accurate, followed by their signature and official embossed seal.
3. Special Requirements (e.g., WES)
If your copies are for World Education Notary Service (WES) or a specific embassy, let us know. We can sign across envelope flaps or use specific color copies if required.
