Certified True Copy is a copy of a document that has been verified by a designated authority (such as a notary public, a government official, or a legal professional) to be a true and accurate reproduction of the original. This certification confirms that the copy is an exact duplicate of the original document and that it has not been altered in any way.

In most cases, a certified true copy is used when the original document cannot be submitted or is required to remain with its holder, but a verified copy is needed for official purposes. It is commonly used for legal, immigration, and business purposes.

Key Features of a Certified True Copy:

  1. Verification of Authenticity: The individual certifying the copy confirms that it is a true and accurate reproduction of the original document.
  2. Stamp or Signature: The certifying authority typically applies a stamp, signature, or seal to the document to confirm its authenticity.
  3. Statement of Certification: A statement, such as “Certified True Copy,” will be included on the document, often accompanied by the date of certification and the name of the authority who performed the certification.

Common Uses:

  • Legal Documents: Court filings, contracts, or deeds that need to be submitted in multiple copies.
  • Immigration: When applying for a visa or residency, certified copies of identification documents may be required.
  • Business Transactions: For verifying ownership or other official records.
  • Academic Records: Copies of transcripts, diplomas, or certificates for job applications or higher education purposes.

How to Obtain a Certified True Copy:

  1. Visit a Notary Public or Relevant Authority: Bring your original document and the copy you want to certify.
  2. Request the Certification: Ask the notary or authority to confirm the copy is a true and accurate reproduction of the original.
  3. Pay Fees: There may be a small fee for the certification service, depending on the authority.
  4. Receive the Certified Copy: Once the authority has reviewed and verified the document, they will certify the copy and provide you with the stamped version.

A certified true copy can carry legal weight, especially in contexts like applying for visas, legal proceedings, or other official processes. Always ensure that the certification is done by an authorized and reputable entity.
