Notary attested true copy of passport
<p>Where can one notarize a copy of a passport in India to confirm it is a true copy which is signed, sealed and verified by an appointed notary?</p>

<p>The early answer does not reflect the position in India.</p>
<p>Section 8(1) of the <a href="https://www.indiacode.nic.in/handle/123456789/2172?view_type=browse&amp;sam_handle=123456789/1362" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Notaries Act, 1952</a> states:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>A notary may do all or any of the following acts by virtue of his office, namely:—</p>
<ul>
<li>(a) verify, authenticate, certify or attest the execution of <strong>any instrument</strong>;</li>
</ul>
</blockquote>
<p>And section 2(b) defines this emboldened text:</p>
<blockquote>
<ul>
<li>(b) &quot;instrument&quot; includes every document by which any right or liability is, or purports to be, created, transferred, modified, limited, extended, suspended, extinguished or recorded;</li>
</ul>
