How We Help
Certified true copy services for Caledon clients.
We compare the original document to the copy, confirm whether true-copy certification is appropriate, and complete the certification wording required by the receiving organization where possible.
Caledon clients often need certified true copies when an organization wants a reliable copy but the original document needs to stay with the client. That request can come up during immigration, school admission, licensing, employment, banking, estate administration, property financing, business due diligence, insurance, or government paperwork. A certified copy may seem simple, but the details still matter because the receiving office may ask for particular wording, clear page references, color copies, or confirmation that every page has been compared with the original.
Goldstone Law PC helps Caledon clients review what is being requested before the copy is certified. We compare the original document against the copy, check names, dates, seals, stamps, signatures, page numbers, attachments, and visible markings, and complete the certification where appropriate. If the receiving organization has provided instructions, those instructions should be reviewed before the document is signed so the copy is prepared in the format expected.
Certified true copies may involve passports, permanent resident cards, driver’s licences, birth certificates, marriage certificates, academic records, professional licences, powers of attorney, estate papers, corporate records, resolutions, banking material, and application packages. In most cases, the original document must be brought to the appointment because a photograph, scan, or email attachment usually does not allow a proper true-copy certification.
Some Caledon certified-copy requests are part of larger Canadian or international files. Depending on the destination and the receiving authority, the copy may also need notarization, apostille, authentication, translation, or additional supporting documents. We help clients identify those possible next steps before the package is submitted.
The appointment is smoother when the original, clear copies, valid identification, recipient instructions, deadline, and number of required copies are ready. If several documents are involved, it also helps to organize them in the same order as the application package.
We can also help Caledon clients confirm whether a recipient expects one certified set or several separate copies.

Common Questions
Questions about certified true copies in Caledon.
Do I need to bring the original document?
Usually yes. Certified true copies normally require comparison against the original document.
Can you certify a copy from my phone?
Usually no. A scan or photo is generally not enough for true-copy certification.
Can certified copies be used outside Canada?
Often, but the receiving authority may also require notarization, apostille, authentication, translation, or legalization.
Can you certify more than one copy?
Yes. Bring the original document, the number of copies needed, and any instructions about how each copy should be certified.
Can you certify a multi-page document?
Often yes. We review the original package and the recipient's instructions about every-page certification, binding, or page references.
What if the receiving office has special wording?
Bring those instructions to the appointment so we can review whether the requested wording can be used.
Do certified copies need to be in color?
Some recipients prefer or require color copies, especially for identity documents. Bring any instructions you received.
Can you certify corporate or estate records?
Often yes, if the original record is available and the certification requested is appropriate for the receiving organization.
