Certified Copy of a Record

When an original document cannot be submitted, a certified copy serves as a legally recognized reproduction. A certified copy of a record is a notarized confirmation that a duplicate is a full, accurate, and unaltered reproduction of the original. This service is commonly used for official documents such as passports, driver’s licenses, diplomas, and legal records. Before certifying the copy, the notary will compare it to the original to confirm its accuracy.

A certified copy is often required when submitting documentation to government agencies, educational institutions, or employers. This process helps prevent alterations or fraudulent reproductions while allowing individuals to retain their original documents.
