Certify Period Document For Free

Notarizing officers at any United States Embassy or Consulate abroad can provide notarial services similar to the functions of a notary public in the United States. It is also possible to have a document notarized by a local foreign notary and then have the document authenticated for use in the United States.

New York Notaries are not authorized to certify copies of any documents. The signer's citizenship status has no impact on this. If, however, you are being asked to notarize an indivdual's signature on a statement asserting that the attached copy of the indvidual's passport is a true copy, you may do so.

The process is simple: the notary compares the copy and the original, then attaches a notarial certificate, stating that the copy is accurate and complete. This isn't an option in every state. Michigan doesn't allow notaries to certify copies, for instance. California only allows notaries to certify powers of attorney.

There is no legislation in Western Australia that stipulates either how to certify a copy of a document or who can do it. The general rule in respect to certifying a document as a true copy is that the person authenticating the document must sight the original and the photocopy at the same time.

All signers must sign the documents to be notarized in the notary public's presence. This is called "personal appearance." You can't notarize the signature of someone who only contacts you online, by mail, or by phone.
