In certain circumstances the accompanying documentation is required to be certified. The compliance process we have in places takes a sample of applications for increased due diligence and applications originating from certain countries. Certification can be carried out by Abshire-Smith employees, lawyer, Notary Public, Consulate or Embassy official. The key elements of these documents need to be translated into English. The certification must clearly show the organisations stamp, date and contact details for who has certified the document. It is required that the copy is clearly visible and dated within 4 months to be accepted. If you require further clarification as to the legal documentation please contact us.
