Arizona Certified Copy is a form of authentication that verifies a document as an accurate representation of the original. This type of copy is typically used in legal proceedings, such as applications for professional licenses or court filings. Certifying a document involves having a notary or other qualified public official compare the original document to the copy and verify that the copy is an exact duplicate. There are two types of Arizona Certified Copy: a Notarial Copy and a Certified Copy. A Notarial Copy is signed by a notary public and includes a stamp or seal from the notary office. A Certified Copy is signed by a court clerk or other qualified public official and includes a raised seal from the verifying office.
