AI Explanation
Strict limitations on Copy Certification. According to CA Probate Code § 4307 and Gov. Code § 27201.1 (new for 2025), a notary public can only certify copies of Powers of Attorney and notarize a certification by a disinterested custodian that a tangible copy is an accurate reproduction of an electronic record. Certifying copies of vital records (birth/death/marriage) or general documents is strictly prohibited.
