how to certify documents
'I have sighted the original document and certify this to be a true copy of the original.'. The person must then sign each statement and provide their designation (e.g. Pharmacist), taking care that the certification does not obscure any of the text on the copy. People authorised to sign certified documents include: 1  Justice of the peace or bail justice. 2  Barrister, solicitor or attorney. 3  Registrar or deputy registrar of the County Court. 4  Member of the police force. 5  Registered medical practitioner, dentist or veterinary practitioner. 6  Pharmacist. 7  Manager of a bank. 8  Minister of religion.
