Certified copies of documents
Sometimes you need a certified copy of a document. This means that an authorised person signs the document to confirm that it is a true copy of the original.
This is one of the services provided by a Justice of the Peace (JP). There is a JP in attendance at our New Plymouth office on Monday mornings.
This service is free, and no appointment is necessary.
If Monday mornings don't suit, check with us about when a JP is available at other locations.
