How our certified copy service works

Document Review

We review your document and confirm whether it can be certified as a true copy for the intended use.

Solicitor Certification

Our solicitor certifies the document as a true copy with wording suitable for its intended use.

Clear, professional and reliable service

I had a very positive experience with Ginkgo Advisory and would happily recommend them.

They were professional, responsive, and very easy to work with. What really stood out was that even at an early stage—before I had formally engaged the firm—they were already willing to join discussions, help us think through the process, and clarify requirements with the overseas party. This was extremely helpful, as the other side was not very clear about what documents were needed or in what format.

They helped bring structure and clarity to what could otherwise have been a confusing situation. Once everything was confirmed, the notarisation and Apostille work was handled efficiently and without unnecessary back-and-forth. Communication throughout was clear and timely, which made the whole process much less stressful.

Overall, a reliable, well-organised, and trustworthy service. I would definitely work with Ginkgo Advisory again.

What is a Certified True Copy?

A Certified True Copy is a copy of an original document that has been certified by a solicitor as a true copy of the document seen.

Certified copies are often required for banking, mortgage, employment, immigration, academic, legal and official processes. The required wording may vary depending on the receiving authority and intended use.

Ginkgo Advisory can review your document and provide solicitor certification where appropriate. Remote certification may be available where accepted by the receiving authority.

What can you certify?

We can assist with many types of documents, including:
– Passports and driving licences
– Birth, marriage and naturalisation certificates
– Degree certificates and transcripts
– Bank statements, utility bills and council tax bills
– Company documents, contracts and powers of attorney
– Visa documents, travel consent forms and ID documents

We review the document and confirm whether solicitor certification is suitable for the receiving authority.

Where remote certification is accepted, we can arrange the process online. If a hard copy is required, we can prepare and send the certified document by courier.

Where do you work?

We are based in London, UK, and assist clients in the UK and overseas.

Where the receiving authority accepts remote certification, we can review your documents and arrange solicitor certification online. If a hard copy is required, we can prepare and send the certified document by courier.

Who certifies the documents?

All certified copies are prepared by a UK solicitor regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority.
This helps ensure that each certification is completed carefully, professionally and with wording suitable for its intended use.

Can you post my document?

Yes. If you need a hard copy, we can prepare a wet-ink signed certified copy and arrange postal or courier delivery to a UK or overseas address.

Can I submit documents for other people?

Yes. You may submit documents on behalf of another person, company or client.

We may need to see the original document, confirm your authority to act, or carry out identity checks depending on the document type and receiving authority’s requirements.
