Notarising a copy of your utility bill
Have you been asked to have your utility bills notarised? In recent weeks, more and more clients have asked about having their utility bills notarised and this presents a problem because utility bills are normally non-government providers and these days they're issued electronically.
If you live in New South Wales and need to show to VFS that you have changed your address, one of the requirements that VFS imposes on you is to prove your new address by submitting a notarised copy of your utility bill. In order to notarise your utility bill, we must first verify the information as well as the authenticity of the bill with your provider. This service offering is a little different from simply certifying a copy of a document that has been issued by a government department (ie, a public document) like a passport or driver's licence or photocard.
