How We Help
Certified true copy services for Unionville 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.
Unionville clients often need certified true copies for identification, family certificates, school records, immigration packages, professional applications, estate papers, banking requests, business documents, powers of attorney, and materials being sent to Canadian or international organizations. A certified copy may be requested when the original document should stay with the client but the receiving office needs a copy that has been compared to it and certified.
Goldstone Law PC helps Unionville clients prepare certified true copies with careful document review. We look at the recipient’s instructions, compare the original document to the copy, and complete certification where appropriate. Details such as names, dates, signatures, seals, stamps, page numbers, attachments, and visible markings can all matter. If the receiving organization has asked for specific wording, color copies, every-page certification, or a particular package format, those instructions should be reviewed before the copy is signed.
Certified-copy requests can involve a single identity document or a larger group of records. Clients may need copies for a school, employer, bank, estate office, professional body, immigration matter, business file, or government application. We help clients understand what should be brought to the appointment, whether the original is required, and whether more than one certified copy should be prepared.
Some Unionville certified copies are used in Ontario, while others are sent abroad. Depending on the destination, the copy may also require notarization, apostille, authentication, translation, or additional supporting material. We help clients identify those possible requirements before submission.
The appointment is smoother when the original document, clear copies, valid identification, written instructions, deadline, and copy count are ready. If several documents are involved, organizing them by recipient or application helps keep each certified copy accurate.
We also help clients consider whether the document should be copied in color, whether all pages should be included, and whether separate certified copies should be prepared for separate offices.

Common Questions
Questions about certified true copies in Unionville.
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.

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.
