Can anyone make a notarially certified copy?

The ability to make a Notarially Certified Copy is typically reserved for authorised individuals or professionals. Not just anyone can make a certified copy of a document. Generally, certain individuals, such as a Notary Public, have the authority to make certified copies.

I got specific training, passed an insane exam, and have the knowledge and expertise to verify the authenticity and accuracy of documents.
