Been asked to provide copies of important documents?
If you’ve been asked to provide photocopies of documents to someone, our Document Certification service will certify up to 3 copies and confirm that these are a ‘true likeness’ of the original.
You keep the originals; the organisation gets certified copies from a brand it can trust.
We certify any form of document, including:
Driving licence
Recent utility bills
Bank statements
