So my apple account was rejected ...

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. :)

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.

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 ?!

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.

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.

I own a few. Why?

There's my answer.

There's my answer.
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...

The inference you make is that people who buy Apple products are idiots. I don't appreciate being called an idiot.

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...

You are talking about specific documents. That is different than an arbitrary notarized document. You are being charged not just for the notarized copy in that case but often the cost of maintaining the real document or the building of the document itself (house sale contract etc.) These costs you are seeing have nothing to do with the fact that it is notarized. A traditional notarized document is nothing more than a something with a stamp from a notary stating that they confirmed you who are. If however that something is under lock and key or there has to be chain of command etc. then you will pay a cost for that transfer. But again, that has nothing to do with it being notarized. Take the example of your birth certificate. When getting a job they want a "Notarized" Copy of the original and it can not be a copy of "a copy". The cost you pay is often to the city for maintaining the raw copy. Now if for some reason your job required the actual original (which really isn't possible), the cost would be for the transfer of the original document to the HQ of where you will work and likely and back fees on who was last storing the original. It just so happens that jobs will take a copy, so long as it is notarized and to get the original notarized it must be done by the controller of the original document.

Just sell it. Buy a product that doesn't require a urine sample and dna testing.

Have to agree that the registry was a bad idea. Drivers, well it is always nice to have control of your hardware so that you do not have two worry about hardware manufacturers having to provide drivers since thier hardware is different. It is a lot better than it use to be. Certainly also MS is much more of a target for hackers than apple because it has a much larger user base. I use to be an Apple person, and I got frustated with Apple's poor performance, and high cost. Maybe they are better now, but back then they designed hardware in house, and I did not think it was all that great except that they used the much better 68000. Did not like the IMac, among the problems was not enough power on the USB.
