Can a notary public certify a document as a true copy of the original?<\/p>\n

Yes, a notary in California can perform copy certification.<\/p>\n

Copy certification is a notarial act in which a notary public certifies that a reproduction or photocopy of an original document is a true and accurate copy of the original.<\/p>\n

To perform copy certification in California, the notary must have the original document and the copy in front of them. The notary must compare the two documents to ensure that the copy is a true and complete reproduction of the original. The notary will then complete a certificate of acknowledgment or jurat to certify the copy.<\/p>\n

It is important to note that notaries in California are not allowed to certify copies of vital records such as birth certificates, death certificates, or marriage licenses.<\/p>\n

Additionally, notaries cannot certify copies of copyrighted materials.<\/p>\n
