Hi,
can anyone help me regarding obtaining certified copies of certificates etc?? I ask as I am not comfortable sending originals and have been given the option of sending certified ones but I have not got a clue where / how to get this done and also if it costs anything
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks
Nick

Hi Nick

My boyfriend had to get something certified (cant remember what is was, I think it was his passport), he just walked into a local solicitors in the UK and asked if someone could certify the document, they did and they didnt charge him :clap , whether that was just a one off I dont now but they could have charged him.

It is worth a try, whether it depends on how many documents you have to get certified.

On asking at a "Notary Public" , we were quoted £150 for 3 certified copies, 2 adults, 1 child. Mark and I felt this quite extreme. We contacted a local solicitor who offered the same service for just £15. On the 23rd of December I went along to get our copies, only to be told they didn't have the change of my £20 note and therefore only charged me £10.....it was nearly Xmas after all.... my advice, always shop around!!

We had to get a document certified, we went to a solicitor and they did it for 5.00.

Their certification was obviously accepted by the NZIS as we've recently had PR granted.
