Exemplified copy

An exemplified copy (or exemplification) is an official attested copy or transcript of a public instrument, made under the seal and original pen-in-hand signature[1] of a court or public functionary[2] and in the name of the sovereign,[3] for example, "The People of the State of Oklahoma".

[citation needed] Certified copies of birth and death records from New York City, Los Angeles, Georgia, and in certain other locations in the US can, if requested, be accompanied by a letter of exemplification.

In Canada and Australia and certain other common-law jurisdictions, exemplifications may be made of any official document by a notary public.

[citation needed] More specifically, the term refers to an attested copy of a legal pleading in its entirety.

[4] The clerk then swears to the authenticity of the judge's signature, incumbency, and authority.
