The Alaska notarial certificate for copy certification by a document custodian indicates that the reproduction of an original document is true and correct. Unlike some states, notaries in Alaska are not permitted to certify documents or photocopies themselves. To bypass this limitation, anyone other than a licensed notary public may certify the copy by swearing or affirming to the truthfulness of its contents. The duty of the notary public is to simply notarize the signature provided by the document custodian (i.e., person making the certification).
