What Is Notary Copy Certification?

Notary copy certification is the process by which a notary public certifies that a photocopy of an original document is a true, accurate, and complete reproduction. The notary compares the copy to the original, then signs and seals the copy to attest to its authenticity.

Certified copies are commonly required when the original document cannot be submitted — such as for international applications, government filings, or institutional requirements — and a simple photocopy is not accepted.

Documents Eligible for Copy Certification

Not all documents can be notarized as certified copies. The following are commonly eligible:

Passports and government-issued IDs
Diplomas and academic transcripts
Powers of attorney
Contracts and agreements
Business documents and licenses
Personal correspondence and records

Note: Vital records such as birth certificates, marriage certificates, and death certificates are issued by government agencies and typically cannot be notarized as certified copies. Certified copies of these documents must be obtained directly from the issuing agency.
