A "copy" is any reproduction of an original. A "certified copy" is a paper document that is a copy of an original in some form and that has been certified by the person making the copy to be a true and unaltered copy of that original.
Certified copies are copies of documents that have been certified to be accurate copies of originals.

This is somewhat like a notarized copy, which is notarized by a public notary to be an authentic copy of an original.
