It often happens that a person cannot independently visit any institution where it is required to personally provide a certain package of papers. In order to overcome this limitation, there is a certification of a copy of the document.
Carrying out this process allows you to send paper by mail. Since the signature and seal of the notary, put on a copy of the document, state that the content of the duplicate is fully consistent with the original.
It should be noted right away that only a notary public employee can certify a copy of a document. That is, any other signature, seal and so on do not certify the contents. Even if we consider the situation when copies of documents from the enterprise are provided, then none of the stamps placed in the accounting department or the secretariat confirms the authenticity of the duplicate.
Certification of a copy of a document may be required in many situations, especially those that include the resolution of disputes, in particular financial ones, from a distance. In such cases, the papers will act as a guarantee that the applicant provides reliable information, and the notary who has stamped and signed is the guarantor of this.
But very often it is necessary to confirm the authenticity of not only documents. So, for example,
notarization of a signature is a process, the result of which is confirmation that a particular signature was put on a particular paper by the person who came to the notary’s office.
It should be noted here that if the certification of documents allows confirming exactly the contents indicated in them, then here it is the other way around. A special explanatory note is attached to each paper where the signature has been authenticated . It contains an indication that the notary confirms that the signature was put in his presence and belongs to the person whose passport data is contained in the note. But at the same time, it also clarifies that the content was not checked for compliance with reality.
There is also a notarization of the passport. This procedure is well known to many students who applied at once to several universities. In this case, applicants had to immediately certify a package of papers, including a passport.
Compared to other notarial services, this process is very simple and fast. This is due to the fact that the copy itself contains all the data necessary for certification. Therefore, the employee of the
notary office can only put the appropriate stamp and his signature.
Certification of a copy of a document can be required for almost any citizen. Especially often it is necessary to confirm the signature. This is due to the fact that many offices work at a distance, which means that you have to submit an application through the mail. To avoid fraud, organizations require the availability of accompanying paper from a notary, which is an official document confirming that the request is made by the citizen specified in the letter, and not someone else.
