Authenticating copy or transcript

The municipality may issue certified copies of certain documents. For example, of your passport or driver's license. By authenticating, the official certifies that the copy looks exactly like the original.

You may need a certified copy or certified transcript for:

  • formal transactions, such as buying a house
  • cases in which you do not want to hand over the original document, for example a copy of an identity document

Diplomas and/or certificates

Copies of diplomas and certificates are not certified by the municipality. For this you can go to the educational institution where you obtained the diploma or certificate. Documents with a church-related character are also not certified by the municipality.
