Certify Copy

Typically, a notary public can only make certified copies from an original document. We don't certify copy for vital records like Birth Certificate and Marriage Certificate.

For us to make a copy certification, the holder of the original document must appear before the notary along with the original document. We then verify the custodian’s identity, makes the copy, fills out a copy certification form, and applies the official notarized stamp. In some cases, such as when the original document no longer exists, a notary public can make a note on the certified copy that it is “a photocopy of a photocopy,” states the National Notary Association.

After making any certified copies, we attach a notarial certificate to the certified copy explaining what the certification means
