who can certify copies of documents?

[traceymac]

hi there everyone, who all can certify copies of documents? is it just a solicitor? or do the people listed on the statutory declarations list on the australian immigration website count as well?

Hi:

Please do a search on the forum as this has been asked many times, but the list on DIAC for stat decs can also certify docs for DIAC.

We got a local solicitor to certify all our documents and she charged £1 per page.

You could also try your local magistrates court. I still can't believe after all this time that there is no definitive list on the DIAC website on who can certify documents for UK applicants. Last time I checked it was geared towards applications submitted onshore.

didn't wanna start a new thread on this, hope you guys don't mind.

I'm sure I'm gonna need some documents for submission in AU (for whatever reason). Will they accept it if they have been certified in Singapore?
