Please note, manual certification of documents can be a costly and time-consuming process, and may not be acceptable unless carried out specifically to the instructions outlined below.

As such, it is strongly recommended that this method is used only in such circumstances where it is not possible to use the Credas App for this purpose.

If you are able to use the Credas App, please do so, as this is a much faster, reliable, and cost-free process.
