A certified copy is a copy of your ID that has been authorised as a ‘true copy of an original document’ by a person listed in New Zealand’s Oaths and Declarations Act 1957.
This person could be a:
- Justice of the Peace*
- Lawyer
- Court Official, such as a Court Registrar or Deputy Registrar
- Notary Public (there may be a cost involved for this service)
*This includes online JP services.
Take your original ID to the certifier along with a clear photocopy of the original.
The certifier will sign the copy with the date and their official stamp on each page to say that the copy matches the original document that you brought to them.
