True copy of the original i.e. stamp and Sign "True cop

[filish11]

Hello everyone. My husband and I met our friend who is a solicitor to sign that the photocopies are true copy of the original. He just sign it and states that the photocopies are true copies of the original. He didn't have any stamp, he just sign it. My question is that, is this ok that he just sign it and states that they are the true copies or do we still needs him to stamp it?

Thank you in advance.

noremly waht they will do stste that it is true copy of the orignal and would then put a seal which contains the details of the solicitor and sign.if i were u i would definately stamp it as otherwise inis wont be able to know who signed it.

filish11,

According to the Application forms:

"In order to make a certified copy, you must take your original certificates/documents to your solicitor or a notary public, commissioner for oaths or peace commissioner and ask them to make a photocopy of each document and certify that it is a true copy of the original i.e. stamp and sign it “True copy of the original”.

And that is the general standard everywhere in the world - I assume.

I will suggest that your friend MUST of necessaity to make it acceptable, affix a stamp. Otherwise, anyone anywhere should have been able to certify any document as a true copy!

All the best!
