Preserve Your Important Documents Without Giving Up the Original
At JJLBS Remote Closing Services, we offer Certified Copy of an Original Document services as a convenient option for clients who need an officially certified copy of an important document while retaining possession of the original.
Unlike a traditional notarization, a Certified Copy of an Original is a separate notarial act that certifies the copy is a true, complete, and accurate reproduction of the original document presented to the notary.
Virginia law authorizes a Virginia Notary Public to perform this notarial act for eligible documents, making it an excellent solution when a receiving organization requires a certified copy rather than the original.

What Is a Certified Copy of an Original?
A Certified Copy of an Original is a written certification completed by a Virginia Notary Public stating that the copy presented is a true, exact, and complete copy of the original document that was presented to the notary.
The notary compares the original document to the copy and certifies that no changes, additions, or omissions exist between the two.
The original document is immediately returned to its owner after the comparison is completed.
How Is This Different From a Regular Notarization?
A traditional notarization verifies:
- The identity of the signer;
- The willingness of the signer; and
- The execution of a signature.
A Certified Copy of an Original does not notarize a signature.
Instead, the notary certifies that the copy accurately reproduces the original document presented during the appointment.
Because it is a distinct notarial act, it may be requested by itself or in conjunction with other notarial services during the same appointment.

How Can a Certified Copy Be Obtained Through a Remote Online Notarization (RON) Session?
Virginia law permits a Virginia Electronic Notary Public to perform eligible electronic copy certifications through a secure Remote Online Notarization (RON) session.
During your appointment:
- You will securely connect with the notary using an approved audio-video platform.
- Your identity will be verified using Virginia’s required identity verification procedures.
- You will present the original document during the live session.
- You will provide an electronic copy of that original document for comparison.
- The notary will compare the original document shown during the session with the electronic copy provided.
- If the documents match exactly and the document is eligible, the notary will complete the appropriate Virginia notarial certificate certifying that the copy is a true, complete, and accurate reproduction of the original presented.
This process allows many eligible copy certifications to be completed without requiring you to travel to a physical office.
