PA Notary Exam

The notary may certify the copy, provided the original is presented and the copy is a true and accurate reproduction. The notary must refuse to certify the copy because it is a public record for which a certified copy is available from the custodian of the record. The notary may certify the copy only if the principal signs an affidavit stating that the copy is true and accurate. The notary may certify the copy if they personally make the copy from the original document.
