copy certifications
A Copy Certification confirms that a reproduction of an original document is a full, true, and accurate transcription or reproduction of the original.
Documents requiring Copy Certification may include: diplomas, driver’s licenses, leases, contracts, vehicle titles, Social Security cards, medical records and bills of sale.
To perform a Copy Certification, the person in possession of an original document (known also as the "document custodian") takes the original document to a Notary Public. The Notary Public typically will make a photocopy of the document and complete a Certificate for the Copy Certification to confirm that the photocopy is a true, accurate and complete copy of the original.
