 Legalisation of Documents - Duncan
Our son is working abroad. We need to get his degree certificate copied, certified as a true copy and legalised.

It would seem that the simple way - but perhaps not the cheapest - would be to get the certificate copied, certified as a true copy by a notary and then legalised by the Legalisation Office in Milton Keynes.

The Milton Keynes bit may be unavoidable, but is there anyone other than a notary who can certify a true copy?

My thanks in anticipation.
 Legalisation of Documents - Iffy
...anyone other than a notary...

My first thought would be a justice of the peace - magistrate or a county court judge.

Possibly a police officer - they can be handy for stuff like passports.

You could swing by your local county court, or give them a ring - they may be able to point you in the right direction.

If you call in, there might even be a friendly solicitor knocking around who would help.

Most courts have a solicitors' room in which are sat several, often bored, solicitors waiting for their case to be called on.

Not sure if any of the above is simpler or easier than the method you've already identified, but you did ask for alternatives.
