Certified identification
A photocopy isn't a certified copy. To get a copy certified, you need to take the original document and the copy to a:
- Justice of the Peace (JP)
- Commissioner for Declarations (Cdec)
- solicitor or barrister
- notary public.
They'll stamp and/or sign the copy and write 'This is a true copy of the original document' on it. Then it's a certified copy.
Find a JP or Cdec in your area.
You can also bring your original document to an OFT contact centre and our officers can make a certified copy.
Please don't post your original documents to us.
