What does a certified copy mean (in relation to money laundering)?
A. A certified copy means a photocopy which is signed by a third party. The third party must be a professional person (e.g. lawyer, accountant, post master/sub-master, banker, teacher, minister, doctor, etc. etc.). The third party must have seen the original and must write above their signature that the copy is a true replica of the original and (if applicable) that the photograph bears a true likeness. They must state their capacity, contact details and the date of signature. Here is a link to an Anti-Money Laundering Guidance Note showing more details.
