Certified true copies in Taipei
Clients in Taipei can drop off or courier their originals from Zhongzheng, Da'an, Xinyi and Zhongshan. We have the copies authenticated by a notary within the jurisdiction of the Taipei District Court and Shilin District Court, and if the copies are for use abroad, we continue with the Bureau of Consular Affairs (BOCA) headquarters in Taipei.

Banks, universities and immigration authorities often ask for a certified true copy instead of the original, so that your passport or diploma never has to leave your hands. In Taiwan, a notary authenticates that the copy matches the original (影本與正本相符認證) and attaches a notarial certificate.
Every document is different, so we quote each request individually. Send us a scan and you will receive a fixed price.

Questions and answers
Do I need to come to your office from Taipei?
No. Clients in Taipei can send scans for a quote by email and courier originals to us. When a step requires you in person, such as signing before a notary, we arrange it within the jurisdiction of the Taipei District Court and Shilin District Court.
Is a certified true copy the same as a notarized copy?
In Taiwan they are the same process: a notary authenticates that the copy matches the original. Some foreign institutions use different names for it, and we check that the format meets their wording.
Will my originals be safe?
Originals stay with us or the notary only for the time needed and are returned by registered mail or courier with tracking. For passports, we schedule the appointment so that you are without it for as short a time as possible.
