Certified true copy stamp maker
A certified true copy stamp maker producing the wording, certifier line and date a certified copy has to carry, with the date filling itself in on use.
A certified true copy stamp is a statement that on a particular day a particular person compared this copy against an original and found it to match. Every part of that sentence has to appear on the stamp, and the date is the part most often wrong.
What you get
- CERTIFIED TRUE COPY, or the wording your jurisdiction expects.
- A signature line, and space for the certifier’s name, title and capacity.
- A date that records the day the comparison actually happened.
- An optional certificate number, so certified copies can be traced.
- Round or rectangular, in the size that fits alongside a signature.
How to make it
- Open the stamp maker and pick a shape, or start from a template.
- Type your wording, then set the colour, border and size.
- Add the date, time, serial number or logo, and position each one.
- Preview it live, then download. Designing and previewing are free.
Questions
What has to appear on a certified true copy stamp?
Usually the words "certified true copy", a signature line, the certifier’s name or title, and a date. Some jurisdictions want the capacity in which the person certifies, and some want a reference to the original. Check what the receiving body asks for, because it varies.
Who is allowed to certify a copy?
That depends entirely on where you are and what the document is. Commonly a notary, a commissioner for oaths, a solicitor, an accountant or a bank official. This tool draws the stamp; it does not make you a certifier.
Why does the date fill itself in?
Because the certification is about a check performed on a specific day. A stamp carrying the day it was designed says the comparison happened months before the copy existed.
