Am in Abuja not lagos. They say they will charge par page after much negotiations, the lawyer said he will collect N40,000.00 for about 26 documents i feel its very expensive but its like i dont have a choice. I read what IG said but i dont know if they accept Local goverment or even court i thought its just notary public that can do it.
Hi Tinu,
Check the following guide for your concern. These are the provisions contained in the Guides from the Canadian Immigration Commission.
Certified copies or notarized documents
To have a photocopy of a document certified, an authorized person must compare the original document to the photocopy and must print the following on the photocopy:
„„I certify that this is a true copy of the original document‟‟
the name of the original document
the date of the certification
his or her name
his or her official position or title
his or her signature
Who can certify copies? People authorized to certify copies include the following:
In Canada:
a commissioner of oaths
a notary public
a justice of the peace
Outside Canada:
a judge
a magistrate
a notary public
an officer of a court of justice
a commissioner authorized to administer oaths in the country in which the person is living
I hope these have address your concerns.
Cheers
Olabisi
