How We Help
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.
Englehart clients often need certified true copies when documents have to be sent to a school, employer, bank, government office, licensing body, estate contact, immigration authority, or other organization while the original remains with the client. These requests can involve identity records, family certificates, academic documents, employment files, business papers, estate materials, professional records, or applications being sent to offices outside the community. A certified copy should be prepared carefully because the receiving office may have its own wording, page, color, or package requirements.
Goldstone Law PC helps Englehart clients review the request before the copy is certified. We compare the original document with the copy, checking names, dates, seals, stamps, signatures, page numbers, schedules, and visible markings. Where appropriate, we complete certification so the copy confirms that it matches the original presented at the appointment. If the recipient has asked for special wording, every-page certification, or multiple certified sets, those details should be available before the appointment begins.
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, banking documents, and immigration or citizenship packages. In most cases, the original document must be presented because a scan, phone image, or ordinary photocopy is usually not enough for true-copy certification.
Some Englehart certified-copy requests are used outside Canada or form part of larger institutional files. Depending on the destination and receiving authority, the copy may also need notarization, apostille, authentication, translation, or further review. We help clients understand those possible next steps before the documents are submitted.
The appointment is smoother when the original, clear copies, valid identification, recipient instructions, deadline, and number of copies are ready. For a package with several documents, organizing the records before the appointment helps ensure the correct copies are certified.

What To Watch For
Englehart certified-copy requests often involve family certificates, identification, school records, employment documents, estate papers, professional records, and applications sent to regional or national offices.
A true copy is normally certified only after the original document is presented for comparison.
If the receiving office needs special wording, every-page certification, color copies, or a bound package, bring those instructions.
