Certified Copies in Portugal
Need a certified copy of a passport, ID, certificate or other original? We compare the copy with the original, certify that it matches, and arrange translation, apostille or legalisation if the next recipient needs it.
What can be certified
Start by telling us what the original is and who will receive the certified copy. That determines whether a certified copy is the right document and whether any additional step is needed.
What we handle
- Check whether the recipient needs a certified copy, the original, or another form of document.
- Compare the copy with the original presented for certification.
- Prepare several certified copies in one coordinated order when needed.
- Coordinate translation, apostille or legalisation if the certified document will be used in another country.
- Combine the certified copy with the wider immigration, property, family or company file when relevant.
What to send us
- ·A clear scan or photo of the document for the initial review.
- ·The original document or information on where the original is located.
- ·The name of the authority, bank, company or other recipient.
- ·The country where the copy will be used.
- ·The number of certified copies you need and your deadline.
