The Connecticut notarial certificate (copy certification) states that a notary public has recognized the accuracy of a reproduced document. The original item must be provided to the notary and either copied by another individual under the notary’s supervision or copied by the notary himself/herself. Once the electronic or photographic copy is made, the notary must compare the reproduction to the original to ensure the accuracy of the copy. If the information is accurate, the notary may complete the copy certification form to certify the reproduction.

A notary who supervises the copying of an original item may ask the individual to complete a statement attesting to the authenticity of the reproduction. For these circumstances, an Attestation of Copy certificate should be completed and attached to the reproduction.
