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 true copy is a reproduction of an original document that is close enough to the original that anyone can understand it. It is often used in legal proceedings as evidence to prove the contents of a writing.
If you need a certified copy of either document type, you must bring the original document and the copy to the notary public. The notary will closely compare the original and copy. Once satisfied that the copy is a true copy, they will verify and certify by dating, stamping and signing the document as a true copy.
A true copy is a document that has not been altered or modified in any way. True copies of the original papers are required in order to guarantee that the copies are legitimate, accurate, comprehensive, and unaltered.
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.
