I seriously doubt Apple gives a damn about any of this. I suspect government(s) and politics are involved.

Interesting, Apple obviously contains a lot of idiots. Of course look at the people who buy apple products.
1. I'm betting Apple itself doesn't give a damn about any of this. I'm betting government(s) and politics are involved. 2. Why are you such a vocal Apple hater? Buy their products or don't. Sheesh! 3. Really? Now you're insulting people that buy Apple products? Don't be a douche!

If you scan this[^] photo instead, you'll have a better chance of acceptance I think. :) A notarized copy means to me that someone of a public and official designation has signed the photo. For example a judge, or possibly a lawyer can do this. Here in North America there is a designation, Notary Public, that does just this sort of thing. It also costs money. :)

Not usually. Most banks (probably all actually) have a notary and will do it at no charge assuming you have an account with them. Since it is next to impossible to go through life with out a bank account everyone should have access to a notary. Also, most places of work have a few people that are registered notaries. Just ask around your office (if you work in one). And beyond that I am guessing that most cities of a decent size have access to a free notary at a city office. Although in those cases it is likely you will wait in line because the notary likely has other duties (e.g. taking your DMV picture or something that always has a long line). Either way it should not cost. I have had many things notarized and I have never paid a penny to have it done.

I registered an apple account with the help of my aunt from the netherlands (holland), because my home country, Egypt, is not supported. After i sent them a scan from her photo Id, i got this: "I can confirm that we have received your Photo ID. After reviewing your ID, I noticed that the Photo ID you sent in was not notarized. Additionally, the ID is not in a language that is currently supported." So my question is: My aunt is dutch and her photo Id is in dutch, how the heck am i supposed to get them an Id in a "supported language" :wtf: ?! Also, does anyone here how to get a notarized copy in the netherlands, because my aunt doesn't know ?!

I've lived in Holland and found it is almost impossible to get things like this done because it is impossible to find out how to go about it and no Dutch civil servant will do anything that is not explicitly approved by their job description document. Good luck.

Here we normally get it done at a police station or bank, for nothing.

Very Good point! Maybe that's the reason they wanted the Id in the first place. Anyway it seems the only way to proceed now is for here to go to the city hall to get the copy notarized. Thanks for the pointer!

I can send you a notarized copy of my ID, then you scan the notary's stamp and signature and graft it onto your aunt's ID.

Free?! Legalising a house sale contract here costs % of the sale, I think for me it was 1%. Legalising a crappy document copy costs 5-10 euros (birth cert, degree etc). The bank papers were free though, they had their own guy but not possible to make use of his services for non-bank related stuff.

What was the question? Let me guess... because I questioned why you are such a vocal Apple hater and cautioned you against insulting people simply because they buy an Apple product - I must be an Apple shill. You question whether I own any Apple products and if I do than your suspicions are confirmed. Very mature...

Obviously sensitive. You know that I am not the only one who think it is dumb to pay the price for apple products. You need a thicker skin. I deal with Microsoft products, and there are plenty of people who have a low opinion of Microsoft, and probably have some choice adjectives for anyone working in the Microsoft world.

You must think I'm pissed off or something... I'm not. I guess expecting intelligent discussion without being insulted is too much to ask these days. As for Microsoft products (and the hardware used to run it)... let's just say I used it exclusively for nearly 25 years before deciding Apple built a better mousetrap that was worth paying a little extra for. As I've gotten older my time has become more valuable (both personally and professionally). I don't want to waste it fighting crappy hardware, dodgy drivers, corrupted registry hives, malware, etc...
