Yes, in most cases we can make a certified true copy on your behalf. We would require the original document, which we will take to a Canadian Notary Public, who will make the certified true copy. The Notary Public will add their signature and seal, as well as a statement that it is a certified true copy of the original document.

However, there are some cases where a certified true copy may not be acceptable. For example, Global Affairs Canada and most provincial offices do not accept copies of Vital Statistics documents. In addition, there are some diplomatic missions that only accept original documents.

We also recommend that before you have a certified true copy made, you first verify with the recipient abroad that a copy will be acceptable.

Feel free to contact our friendly staff for assistance and to answer your questions. We will make sure your documents meet the criteria of the apostille, or authentication and legalization, process.
