Certified Copy of Academic Diploma — Notarial Certification
A certified copy of an academic diploma is a notarized photocopy of a degree certificate (BA, MA, PhD, diploma) that a notary certifies as a true copy of the original. Academic institutions, employers, and foreign authorities frequently require certified copies for admissions, degree recognition, or professional licensing.
What is a certified copy of an academic diploma?
A certified copy is a photocopy of an original academic certificate that a notary certifies as identical to the original under the Notaries Law, 1976 (חוק הנוטריונים, תשל״ו-1976).
