Description

You can ask municipality to authenticate a copy of a document. This means that the copy says exactly the same thing as the original. 

The municipality does not authenticate diplomas.

It is important to avoid fraud when authenticating diplomas.
Contact the educational institution to have them verify that the diploma or certificate they issued goes. The DUO has a diploma register for individuals and companies. Check the DUO website.
