Certified True Copy Services
Get your documents certified quickly by licensed lawyers in Abu Dhabi. Fakher & Co provides certified true copies for banking, immigration, universities, and corporate use.
Official Certification That Your Copies Are True to the Original
In many official and legal processes, you will be asked to provide copies of your important personal documents, such as your passport, Emirates ID, or a utility bill. However, a simple photocopy is often not sufficient. Many institutions, including banks, foreign universities, and immigration authorities, require a “Certified True Copy” to ensure that the copy is a genuine and unaltered replica of the original document.
A Certified True Copy is a photocopy of an original document that has been certified by a qualified person (such as a lawyer) as being a true and accurate copy of the original. This certification provides the receiving party with confidence in the authenticity of the document.
At Fakher & Co, we provide a fast and reliable Certified True Copy service. Our lawyers are authorized to certify that a copy of your original document is a true and faithful reproduction, helping you meet the requirements of your official applications.
When Do You Need a Certified True Copy?
This service is commonly required for a variety of purposes, including:
- Opening International Bank Accounts: Many foreign banks require certified copies of your passport and proof of address as part of their Know Your Customer (KYC) process.
- Immigration and Second Citizenship Applications: Foreign immigration authorities often require certified copies of personal documents as part of a visa or citizenship application.
- Applying to Foreign Universities: Universities may require certified copies of your academic transcripts and degree certificates.
- Corporate and Legal Transactions: Providing certified copies of corporate documents or personal IDs as part of a legal or commercial transaction.
Our Simple and Fast Certification Process
Our process is designed to be as quick and straightforward as possible:
- Step 1: Present the Original Document: You must present the original document to one of our lawyers in person. We cannot certify a copy without first seeing the original.
- Step 2: We Verify and Copy the Document: Our lawyer will carefully examine the original document to ensure it appears genuine and has not been tampered with. We will then take a high-quality photocopy of the document.
- Step 3: We Certify the Copy: Our lawyer will stamp and sign the photocopy with a formal declaration stating that it is a “true copy of the original” document that they have sighted. The certification will include the date, the lawyer’s name, and their official capacity.
