Certified True Copy Notarization for Businesses in Ontario
Certified True Copy Notarization for Businesses in Ontario
Certified true copies are commonly required for corporate compliance, HR processes, background checks, and professional documentation. In Ontario, these copies must be certified in person by a licensed Notary Public, confirming that the copy matches the original document exactly.
Because certification must be done face-to-face,
mobile notary services are essential for businesses in
Aurora, Richmond Hill, Vaughan, and Newmarket that need on-site support.
What Is a Certified True Copy?

- The original was presented and reviewed at the time of certification
- The copy is accurate and unaltered
- The copy can be submitted to third parties in place of the original
When Do Businesses Need Certified Copies?
Certified true copies are often required for:
Employee onboarding or background checks
