What is a notarised copy of a document and why is it needed?
A notarised copy of a document is an official confirmation by a notary that the copy of the document is an accurate and true copy of the original. This service is mandatory if:
- copies of documents are submitted to foreign institutions (e.g. universities, consulates, immigration services);
- you need to certify a copy of your passport or certificate in connection with inheritance, marriage, residency, etc.;
- the requirement for a notarised copy is part of the identity verification (KYC) or compliance procedure.
This is not just a formality — it is legal confirmation of the authenticity of the copy, which reduces the risk of fraud and ensures trust in the documents you provide.
How does the certification of copies of documents take place in the United Kingdom?
A lawyer from our team accompanies the client at every stage of the procedure:
- analyses the document and determines whether it can be notarised;
- checks the availability of the original, the authenticity of the signature or seal (if necessary);
- prepares a Notarial Certificate in English, which is attached to the copy;
- at the client's request, organises further apostille of the notarised copy of the document at the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO);
- provides advice on the international use of the certified copy.

All procedures are carried out in accordance with the standards of notarial practice in England and Wales.
