There are situations where a company or business may need a person or business to send them an authentic copy of document(s) Fortunately notaries can help, by performing for the customer or business a Certified copy by notary. This involves the customer bringing the document to the notary, then the notary must physically make a copyof the document(s) ( using a copier machine etc) of the document, from there the document copy(s) and or attached notary certificate has to be notaized . Thats how a certified copy by notary is done. This ensures the requestor of the document, the public, and the person sending the copy that it is legitimate, thats another reason why its important for notaries to always get a proper photo ID that is current from the person needing items notarized. Notaries are 3rd party unbiased individuals there to ensure the person(s) are who they say they are and that those parties actually did sign the documents.

Many notaries throught the nation do not have Errors and Omissions insurance which protects the customer/public in cases where a notary made a error or forgot t ( ommitted ) information on a document , be it a jurat, acknowledgement, oath, affadavit etc.  If this causes the customer financially the notary who is covered with an Errors and Ommissions insurance policy can have it paid ( up to the ammount of coverage on the policy which typically is $50,000 or $100,000)  so it also helps the notary because now the notary who made such an error or ommission does not have to pay out of their own pocket.  An error is just making a mistake in how the notarization was done, an ommission is leaving out say for example the date, the persons, name, forgetting to put the notary stamp or seal on the notarized document or other information that should have been part of the notarization.
