Certification of documents in Nepal produces a certified true copy — a photocopy verified and stamped as identical to the original by a registered notary public. Translation Nepal provides fast, accepted document certification for visa, study, employment and official use.
What is a certified true copy?
A certified true copy confirms that a duplicate matches the original document. Universities, employers and offices often ask for certified copies instead of originals. A notary public in Nepal verifies and certifies the copy under the Notary Public Act.
