What is the difference between a true copy, certified copy, and original document? A “true copy" is a copy of something that matches the original (ie, not altered or different from the original in any way). A “certified copy" is a copy that someone has inspected to ensure that it is a true copy.
A certified true copy is usually a special copy of an original document and is made by a notary public or lawyer. A photocopy is just a copy made from a primary document without any certification attached to it. A true copy is a photocopy or duplicate made (without alterations) of any original document.
Certified true copies are issued if the record is available in the Registry Books while Certified Machine Copies are issued based on the original copy of the document filed and kept in this office.
A certified copy is also a copy of the original, but it does not have the same effect as the authenticated copy. A certified copy will not be accepted for procedures at financial institutions (cancellation of the accounts) or legal affairs bureaus (registration of the real estates).
