Notarised Passport Copies
A passport is an official identity document issued by a government, confirming a person’s nationality and citizenship. It is most often used for international travel but is also accepted worldwide as reliable proof of identity.
Passport Security Features
Modern passports are produced with multiple anti-fraud protections, including digital microchips, ultraviolet fibres, special inks, watermarks, and coded printing. These features make it difficult to alter or counterfeit the document. Biometric or e-passports contain an electronic chip that securely stores the holder’s personal data and image for machine-readable verification.
Applying or Renewing a Passport
Most passport offices allow applications and renewals to be submitted online or in person. The process varies by country, and a government fee is normally required.
When a Notarised Copy Is Needed
A notarised copy of a passport is often required when identification must be verified for use outside the United Kingdom—for example, opening an overseas bank account, completing legal transactions, or signing a power of attorney for use abroad.
A Notary Public will inspect the original passport to confirm authenticity and may create a certified copy of the identification page or any other relevant pages, such as visa stamps. Where requested, the notary can also verify that the photograph accurately represents the individual who appears before them.
