CIO will note the document for which they require notarization. In the instruction guide they say that only documents which are not in English or French needs to be notarized and translated.
However, it's strange that before 18 July 2011 Visa offices (V.O. Vienna for example) asked for notarization of diploma's, birth certificates and employment contracts and that CIO doesn't. This means that copy of my English version of diploma doesn't need notarization. It's strange, and as many of you mentioned, to be on the safe side, birth certificates, employment contracts and diplomas should be notarized. Proof of residency, passports and ID's don't have to be notarized. Everything else is original anyway.
Dear forum members,
I have just seen the old version of EG7 and the latest version of EG7.

Any document that is not in English or French must be accompanied by:
the English or French translation; and
an affidavit from the person who completed the translation; and
a certified copy of the document.
Note: An affidavit is a document on which the translator has sworn, in the presence of a commissioner authorized to administer oaths in the country in which the translator is living, that the contents of their translation are a true translation and representation of the contents of the original document.
Translations by family members are not acceptable.
