Certified True Copy for Professional Certificates – Ontario Notarization
Certified True Copy for Professional Certificates – Ontario Notarization
Professional licensing boards and employers frequently require certified true copies of trade certificates, designations, and regulatory licenses. In Ontario, these copies must be verified in person by a licensed Notary Public to be accepted for official use.
Notary Link provides mobile certification services across Aurora, Richmond Hill, Vaughan, and Newmarket — helping professionals meet compliance and credentialing requirements efficiently.
What Is a Certified True Copy of a Professional Certificate?
A certified true copy is a notarized copy of a professional document that has been physically reviewed and verified against the original. Common examples include:
- Trade certificates (Red Seal, C of Q, etc.)
- Regulatory licenses (RPN, RN, CPA, RMT, P.Eng)
- Industry certifications (e.g., Google, Salesforce, Six Sigma)
- Government-issued qualifications or accreditations
Why Certification Is Required
- For registration with a professional college or board
- To support job applications in regulated industries
- For immigration applications involving recognized trades or professions
- For internal compliance during corporate audits or international assignments
Why It Must Be Done In Person
In Ontario, Notaries are legally required to:
- Examine the original certificate
- Visually verify the copy matches exactly
- Sign, seal, and stamp it as a certified true copy
This process must be done in person — online commissioning is not valid for certified copies.
