Certifying documents

I hope this is the appropriate section.

Where can I get documents certified quickly and cheaply? I need certified a passport and tenancy agreement.

You can go to any high street solicitors and ask them to do it for you. You should take the original document with you - they will make a copy and stamp it on the front as a certified copy. There's usually a nominal fee for this - usually around the £5 to £10 per document, though it does depend on how many pages. Ask upfront how much it would be.

If you are in the UK, large post offices will sometimes offer certification services.  There is a nominal fee but it's not much.

Why do you need a passport certified?  The only entity that can certify a passport is the issuing authority or embassy or consulate.

Sorry Anonymiss, that's not right. A certified copy in the UK is a copy of a document with a stamp on it from a qualified person (solicitor etc) and just states that the copy is a true copy of the original. It's not the same as 'notarising' which has a different meaning and gives an opinion as to the content of the original document, which may be what you are meaning.
