CERTIFIED TRUE COPY

A certified true copy is essential for various legal, academic, and professional purposes, ensuring that copies of your documents are recognized as authentic. Here is the process:

What is a Certified True Copy?

A certified true copy is a photocopy of an original document that has been verified and stamped by a notary public. This certification confirms that the copy is a true and accurate representation of the original.

Step by Step Process for Notarizing Certified True Copies

1.  Prepare Your Documents

  • Gather the original documents you need to copy. Ensure they are complete, clear, and legible.

  • For digital original documents, you can either show where it originated from in-person or through video call.

2.  Make Photocopies

  • You can bring clear copies or we can photocopy them for you.  Depending on your needs, consider how many certified copies you require.

  • For digital originals, please email the document(s) to contact@diannag.com and we will have it printed and prepared.

3.  Schedule an Appointment

  • You can book an appointment here.

  • For certified true copies, anyone can bring the documents for notarization, unless a witnessing of a signature is required.

4.  Bring Your Documents

  • During our appointment, the original documents will be compared to the copies you wish to have certified.  

5.  Notarization

  • A signature, stamp and seal will be placed on each copy, certifying them as true copies of the originals.  

Getting certified true copies notarized doesn't have to be complicated.  With our assistance, you can ensure that important documents are properly certified and ready for whatever needs you have.

SAME-DAY APPOINTMENT

DG Notary offers in-person and virtual commissioning and witnessing services in full compliance with Ontario's legal and regulatory requirements. Our services are carried out by licensed professionals, including commissioners for taking affidavits and other authorized individuals who are legally permitted to administer oaths, affirmations, and statutory declarations under the Commissioners for Taking Affidavits Act (Ontario) and related legislation.

Please note that online or remote notarization is not yet explicitly regulated under Ontario law. Therefore, DG Notary does not offer online notarial services, including the digital notarization of documents. Any mention of terms such as “notary,” “online notary,” or “notarize online” on our website is used solely in an informal, descriptive context. These references apply only to our lawful remote commissioning and virtual witnessing services, which are separate from formal notarial acts.

DG Notary is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice, representation, or legal opinions. While we assist with online commissioning and witnessing, we do not provide guidance regarding the legal validity, enforceability, or acceptance of documents.

If you need legal advice about executing or using a document, we recommend consulting a licensed lawyer or qualified legal professional. Before using our services, it’s also important to confirm whether the document will be accepted by the intended recipients—such as courts, government bodies, or other organizations—especially when executed electronically or remotely.
