Frequent questions

Frequently asked questions

Do I have to hand over my original?

It is only exhibited for comparison; the original stays with you. The verification notation is placed on the copy and a certified copy is issued.

Does verification certify the truth of the content?

No. It certifies the fidelity between copy and original. The authenticity of the original is proven by other means, such as ratification or a public document.

Do you verify translations?

Yes. We verify that the certified translation matches the source document, useful for immigration, banking, and registry proceedings.
