Notarization and Certified Copies
Notarization and certified copies are essential legal services that validate the authenticity of your documents. A notary public witnesses oaths, declarations, signatures, and affirmations, ensuring that your documents are legally recognized and properly authenticated.
At Juzkiw Law, we provide professional notarization services for individuals, businesses, and institutions across the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). Whether you need a document notarized for immigration, business, or personal purposes, our notary services ensure that everything is done efficiently and accurately.
Certified True Copies
A certified true copy is a photocopy of an original document that has been verified and stamped by a notary public as a true and accurate representation of the original. This allows you to submit important documents without risking loss or damage to the original copies.
You may need certified true copies for:
- Immigration or visa applications
- Employment verification
- Academic and university admissions (domestic or international)
- Licensing and professional registration
- Banking and mortgage applications
- Residency or school enrollment proof
Having a certified true copy stamp on your documents ensures that organizations and institutions recognize your copies as valid and legitimate.

- Applying for a foreign university or college that requires verified academic transcripts
- Submitting documents for government or regulatory body approvals
