A notarized copy is a photocopy of an original document that has been certified as a true copy of the original. UoPeople requires that all copies of education credentials and their translations bear original notary stamps and signatures. Notary stamps can be issued by a notary public. Additionally, government institutions, courthouses and attorneys also frequently offer notary services. Please note: Students can start studying before sending these documents, and will have a full year until they will need to provide them.
