Notarised & attested passport copies

Passport Copy Attestation

Passport copy attestation is the notarisation, and where required the further attestation, of a photocopy of your passport so it can be used as proof of identity without handing over the original. Banks, universities, embassies and foreign companies often ask for a certified or notarised passport copy, and some foreign authorities need it attested by the MEA or apostilled. We notarise passport copies while you wait and handle the next steps if needed.

What is passport attestation?

Certified passport copies explained

Your passport is issued by the Ministry of External Affairs, so the passport itself doesn't need attestation. What authorities ask for is a certified true copy: a photocopy that a notary public has compared with the original and signed, sealed and dated.

For use abroad, some authorities also want that notarised copy apostilled or attested by the MEA and embassy, for example when appointing a company director, opening a foreign bank account or registering property. We tell you which level your authority needs.
