Only the signature needs to be certified as that of the person signing the form. No need to then get copies of that certified as well, that's just beating a dead horse.

It was my impression that anyone legally authorized to certify signatures in that country would be all you need. So in the US, it would be a notary. I don't see why you'd need to go to the embassy to certify a signature.

Color scans of the document (with signature certified) and proof of citizenship is all you need when applying online.

Hi all, just want a firm answer on this as I am in a similar situation and can't find any information on immi.gov about this: I am currently living in the U.S and about to submit documents for my husband's PR visa. Do we just get a notary to certify things like passport etc. here? Thanks in advance.

You don't get certified copies of any documents if you're uploading good quality color scans.
