Copies of documents that can be certified include:

• passports
• photocard driving licences
• letters from a government department
• bank/building society or credit card statements
• gas, electricity or council tax bills
• letters from a hospital/doctor

Your document must be certified by a professional person or someone well-respected in your community (‘of good standing’). You could ask the following if they offer this service:

• bank or building society official
• councillor
• minister of religion
• dentist

• chartered accountant

• solicitor or notary
• teacher or lecturer

The person you ask should not be:

• related to you

How to certify a document

Take the photocopied document and the original and ask the person to certify the copy by:

• signing and dating it
• printing their name under the signature
• adding their occupation, address and telephone number
