Can I attest a copy/photocopy of my documents?

In most cases we will require the original document to legalise it, though we can also legalise certified copies of that document. A certified copy is a copy of a primary document, that has on it an endorsement or certificate that it is a true copy of the primary document. It does not certify that the primary document is genuine, only that it is a true copy of the primary document.  For documents such as educational certificates and commercial documents, we will usually certify the original and carry out legalisation on the certified copy. In most cases, we can carry out legalisation on the original if this is preferred, but please note that this is not a legal requirement. Uncertified photocopies can not be legalised.
