Normal Copy vs Certified Copy — Why One Works and One Fails

A plain photocopy looks like a copy. A certified copy looks like proof. Here is how they differ when you submit to an officer.

Normal photocopy

What people try first

  • Just a machine copy — no stamps or signs
  • Officer cannot verify if it is real
  • Gets rejected at first check
  • You must come back with certified version
  • You waste time and pay again

Result: Application delayed or refused until you fix it

Certified true copy

The right way

  • We check original and sign the copy
  • Stamp shows officer it is verified
  • Matches all authority rules
  • Ready for submission immediately
  • Officer accepts without questions

Result: Application moves forward — no delays, no repeat visits

Your Questions About Certified True Copies — Answered

People ask us the same questions every day. Here are the answers. If yours is not here, just call or WhatsApp. We reply fast.

What is a certified true copy?

It is a photocopy that we match to the original document. We stamp it and sign it. This tells officers the copy is real and unchanged.

Can you certify my original document?

No. We certify copies of your original. We never stamp or change your original document. You keep the original safe.

Do I need to bring the original?

Yes. We must see the original to certify the copy. No original — no certification. That is the rule.

How long does it take?

Most documents take 3-4 hours. If you are in a rush, tell us. We often finish faster for urgent cases.

Can you certify foreign documents?

Yes. We certify passports, degrees, and birth certificates from any country. As long as the original is real, we can certify it.

Will ICA accept your certified copy?

Yes. ICA accepts our certified copies daily for pass, PR, and citizenship applications. We know their rules.

Do you send copies by post?

Yes. If you cannot visit, courier your documents to us. We certify them and send them back. You pay both courier costs.

What if my document is not in English?

No problem. We certify copies of documents in any language. The copy shows the original language.

Can you notarise the certified copy?

Yes. If your embassy or overseas office needs notarisation, we arrange that too. One process after the other.

What is the difference between certified copy and notarised copy?

Certified copy has our stamp. Notarised copy has a notary stamp as well. Notary is for extra proof, usually for overseas.

How much does one certified copy cost?

One document costs $20. That includes checking, copying, stamping, and signing. No extra fees.

Can you do multiple copies of the same document?

Yes. If you need 5 certified copies of your passport, we do all 5 at once. You pay per copy.
