Can I notarize a copy of a passport? If so what form do I need to complete? — M.L., Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Pennsylvania Notaries can certify a copy of a passport — you can make the copy of the passport and you’ll need to complete a certificate for a certified copy. A sample may be found on the Pennsylvania Department of State’s website or, if you are an NNA member, you may download a copy certification certificate form by logging into My NNA at NationalNotary.org.
Hotline answers are based on the laws in the state where the question originated and may not reflect the laws of other states. If in doubt, always refer to your own state statutes. – The Editors
