Allows copy certification. Public Act 102-160 allows a Notary to certify a paper or tangible copy of an electronic document is a true and correct copy.If the client brings the copy to you, inspect the copy closely and compare it to the original to assure the copy is a true copy. A true certified copy is a duplicate of a document that a notary has certified and verified as a true copy of the original document. This statement confirms that the copy is a true and accurate representation of the original document. When are certified copies necessary? The court needs to know that the other side was served correctly. Most of the time, these disclaimers will confirm that all information given or written in the form is true, complete, and accurate. The document custodian completes a jurat – a document stating that he or she has created a true and correct copy of the original document. The copy is guaranteed as an exact replica of what is on file.
