Proof that a photocopy is a true, complete copy of an original you hold — most often for documents headed out of state or overseas.

Degrees, diplomas, and school transcripts submitted to employers, universities, or agencies abroad.

Certified copies that will be authenticated with an apostille or embassy legalization for international use.

Vital records (birth, death, marriage certificates), court-sealed documents, and other publicly recorded records must come from the agency that issued them — a notary cannot certify copies of these. Before your appointment, confirm the receiving party will accept a notary-certified copy.
