What is the difference between regular, certified, and exemplified copies?

Copies are a photocopy of any document or page in a file.

Certified copies are photocopies of a filed document in its entirety (everything filed as one document) that is sworn to be a true copy by a court clerk. The certified copy should not be taken apart, as once the staple is removed the certification becomes invalid.

Exemplified copies are a photocopy of a filed document in its entirety that is sworn to by the Trial Court Administrator (TCA). The signature of the TCA is then sworn to by a judge. The TCA then swears to the authenticity of the judge’s signature.
