Why Are Copy Certifications Important?

Copy Certifications are important in Costa Rica because they guarantee the authenticity and validity of the documents being certified, in such a way that a Public Notary attests that the copy is accurate to its original. These certifications are issued by a Public Notary who verifies that the copy of the document is identical to the original. PredictaBill offers this copy certification service to facilitate and expedite the legal procedures of its clients.

Why can I require a Copy Certification?

A Copy Certification may be required in various situations, for example, to submit copies to authorities or private subjects of an original document that cannot be delivered. Some employers may request certified copies of academic degrees, birth certificates, or passports as part of the job application process. Likewise, when applying for visas, residence permits, or citizenship in a foreign country, you may be required to submit certified copies of personal documents. In the context of court proceedings, you may be required to submit certified copies of documents as evidence in a case. Additionally, when opening a bank account, some financial institutions may require certified copies of identification and financial documents.
