Permissible copy certifications for California notaries. A California notary may certify a copy of a Power of Attorney (Probate Code section 4307) and copies of the notary's own journal entries (Government Code section 8206). Vital records — birth, death, and marriage certificates — are strictly off-limits. Passports are federal documents that may not be certified by a state notary.
