What is a Notarial Certificate for Certified Copies?
A notarial certificate for certified copies is a statement by a notary public confirming that a copy of an original document is a true and accurate reproduction. It is attached to a photocopy of the original and certifies that the copy was compared against the original and is complete and unaltered.
When Would You Use This?
- Certifying copies of passports, birth certificates, or other identity documents for immigration
- Providing certified copies of corporate documents to a financial institution
- Submitting copies of legal documents to a court or government agency
- Any situation where an original cannot be submitted but a certified copy is accepted

A notary public can sign all documents.
