Photocopy of documents - Certified true copies

[msingh2013]

Hello

When you photocopy original documents like a passport or birth certificate or anything else required to show as proof, do you need to follow this procedure?

Certified true copies

To have a photocopy of a document certified, an authorized person must compare the original document to the photocopy and must print the following on the photocopy:

“I certify that this is a true copy of the original document”,
the name of the original document,
the date of the certification,
his or her name,
his or her official position or title, and
his or her signature.

Please let me know!
Thanks!!!!

No you dont need to certify the documents which are in English...

Are you sure it's just for translated documents? Can anyone write the affidavit or must it be from a government approved organization?

I called CIC and they said it is only for translated documents. So you were right.
