documentation and met the individual in question, and that the copy is “certified as a true copy of
the original seen by me and a true likeness of the individual whom I have met”.
The verification of residential address must state that the document provided is a true copy of the
original.
Certification should include the suitable certifier’s full name, contact details, professional capacity
in which they are certifying and must be signed and dated.
The above can be handwritten or added by means of a stamp.
