Certified True Copies

A certified true copy is a photocopy of an original document that has been verified by a notary public or a paralegal to be an accurate, true, and complete reproduction of the original. At RG Notary & Legal Services in Brampton, we provide certified true copies of important documents as part of our comprehensive paralegal services. This service is often required when dealing with legal, financial, and official matters, where the original document cannot be submitted or is too valuable to be handled frequently.

What Is a Certified True Copy?

A certified true copy is an official copy of a document that is verified by a professional, such as a notary public or a paralegal, to ensure that it is a true and accurate representation of the original document. The process involves the notary or paralegal comparing the original document with the copy and certifying that it matches in all respects. A stamp or seal, along with the professional’s signature, is typically added to the copy to authenticate it.

Certified true copies are used in various legal, government, and financial procedures when you need to provide proof of a document’s legitimacy without presenting the original document itself.

Why Do You Need Certified True Copies?

Certified true copies are commonly required in situations such as:

• Legal Proceedings: Courts and legal authorities may request certified copies of documents like identification, contracts, or property records.
• Real Estate Transactions: Certified copies of documents such as land titles or contracts may be required for property transfers.
• Immigration Applications: Immigration authorities often require certified true copies of personal identification, birth certificates, marriage certificates, and other essential documents.
• Financial Transactions: Banks or financial institutions may request certified copies of documents like financial statements, tax returns, or legal contracts for loan applications, mortgages, or other transactions.
• Official Records: Government agencies may require certified copies of documents for licensing, permits, or other official purposes.

By certifying a document, we help ensure that it is accepted as an official representation of the original by authorities or institutions that require proof of authenticity.
