☑ COPY CERTIFICATION CERTIFICATE
In Massachusetts, a Copy Certification is a notarial act in which a Notary Public verifies that a photocopy or reproduction of an original document is a true, accurate, and complete copy of the document presented. The notary does not certify that the original document is valid—only that the copy matches the original.
Massachusetts notaries are permitted to perform copy certifications except for documents that are vital records, such as:
- Birth certificates
- Death certificates
- Marriage certificates
- Divorce decrees issued by a court
