Another PerspectiveIf you need to use a copy of a notarized document for some purpose it must be a copy of the actual notarized form showing the acknowledgment. For example, many entities will accept a copy of a fully executed POA (Power of Attorney) for their records. A copy of a fully executed POA may be acceptable at some facilities where it must be used. Some hospitals may accept a copy of a fully executed health proxy for their records. If you want to have a copy of a legal document for your records make sure it's a copy of the fully executed, notarized document.
When multiple originals of a legal document are executed they must each bear a notary stamp. A photocopy of a POA, health proxy or any legal document made before the document was fully executed has no value.
A copy of a notarized document is acceptable in courts if it is certified as a true copy of the original. It must be certified as a true copy by the keeper of the records from which it came.
