Here are some tips to help you get your paperwork right when you visit with a JP:
- If you want to certify a true copy, have the original document and the copy with you.
- If certifying transcripts printed from the internet or email attachments, the JP will need to see the original website or email on your computer or cell phone (or our office computer).
- If you are certifying a text message, the JP will need to see the whole message on your computer or cell phone.
- If certifying documents for banks or financial institutions, need a declaration or you need an affidavit, the JP needs to see the person named in the document and their photo ID e.g. Passport, Drivers licence or 18+ card.
