A certified true copy is an official verification by a licensed notary that a photocopy or digital copy of an original document is a genuine and accurate reproduction. The notary examines the original document, compares it with the copy, and certifies its authenticity with an official seal and signature. This certification confirms that the copy is identical to the original and can be used for official purposes without presenting the original document.
Certified true copies are commonly required for passports, diplomas, birth certificates, marriage certificates, driver's licenses, degrees, professional certifications, and legal documents. Anyone who needs to submit document copies to government agencies, universities, employers, banks, or foreign authorities may require certified copies. With My Notary, you can obtain certified true copies online in 15-20 minutes via secure video verification, keeping your original documents safe at home.
