What is a certified copy?

A 'certified copy' of an original document is a copy that has been verified as being a true copy of an original document such as a, birth certificate, marriage certificate, driver’s licence and/or passport.

This is done by a person who is authorised to certify copies of original documents. There are many professions in Victoria who are able to certify documents including: pharmacists, police officers and nurses. For a full list of professions eligible visit:  https://www.justice.vic.gov.au/certifiedcopies#List_authorised

How to get a copy certified:

Bring both the original and a copy of the original to the certifier.

The certifier will:

  • examine the original to ensure it is not a copy or forgery
  • examine the copy to ensure it is identical to the original. A copy can be considered identical even if it is a different size or colour, so long as that does not result in the loss of any material information.
  • The certifier will then write or stamp the copy with the words: “Certified to be a true copy of the original seen by me.” They will sign and date the copy, and write or stamp their:
    • Name
    • personal or professional address, and
    • qualification as an authorised certifier.
    • If there are multiple pages to the copy, the certifier will sign or initial and number all pages.

Your document has now been certified and you can upload it as part of your application.
