In California, a notary public cannot notarize a copy of a physician's license or any other document that is not intended for a legal purpose, such as a certified copy. Notaries are typically restricted to notarizing signatures on documents and certifying that those signatures are genuine. If a certified copy of a physician's license is needed, it must be obtained directly from the issuing authority, such as the Medical Board of California.
The notary does not keep a copy of documents they notarize. The owner of the document or the parties involved in the transaction may make a copy. If the document is recorded in the land records, anyone can obtain a copy.

Hopefully, yes.
If the document wasn't signed by the parties it is not valid. A notary might not notice the document wasn't signed but the acknowledgement would not have any affect. In fact, it would be a violation of notary standards.
Yes, a Virginia Notary can notarize a document to be recorded in another state if the document is signed and notarized in Virginia. However, it is important to verify the specific requirements of the receiving state regarding out-of-state notarizations to ensure compliance.
I am not exactly sure on what your question means, however, perhaps you mean to ask `how do you prove the authenticity of a document?' This can be done in my jurisdiction by having a notary public "notarize" the document. Most lawyers are notaries public, which allows them to notarize a document (certifying that it is a true, and authentic copy of the orgiinal). This is done by preparing a certificate, called a notarial certificate, in which the notary will certify that the copy of the document is a true copy of the original. The notarial certificate will be accompanied sealed with the notary public's raised seal. Some notaries public will charge a fee for this service.
Some states allow notaries to notarize authorized copies of documents and some do not. A notarized photocopy might not hold up in court, but a college registrar might allow it
Well, sweetheart, to get a notarized copy of an original document, you need to take that precious piece of paper to a notary public and have them make a photocopy while they watch. Then they'll stamp and sign that copy, declaring it to be a true and accurate reproduction of the original. So, grab your document, find a notary, and voila, you've got yourself a notarized copy.
You make a photocopy of the diploma and take it along with the original diploma and the notary will verify that it is a true copy and put his notary stamp. Most banks don't do this type of notarization so you may need to go to a ups store or mailbox etc. It costs somewhere in the 10 to 15 dollar range per document. Go to your bank first since they usually will notarize for free.
I think there may be some confusion as to the role of a notary. If you or another are signing something, they will - assuming you both have your IDs - notarize it for you. Which is just them saying, "I saw this person or that person sign this paper." A diploma might be signed, but that is usually by a copied signature of the principal or some such. It does not have to be notarized, the "proof" of a diploma is in the school keeping in their records the fact of your graduation. Another traditional notary function is to vouch for a photocopy as genuine. Many U.S. states have restricted this function in recent years, especially for government-issued documents. In this case, the notary will tell you to get a certified copy from the issuer. You would think that the original would be better than a copy, even a notarized or certified one. But many countries require a notarized or certified copy for business visas, work permits and so forth.
To properly make a certified copy, a notary must compare the copy to the original document and confirm that it is a true and accurate reproduction. They must then stamp or seal the copy with their official notary seal and sign it to certify its authenticity.
