How are documents certified?

Type: 
Certifying Documents
Answer: 

Although electronic documents do not have original signatures, the process in which the court certifies a document has not changed. If you require a certified copy of an electronically filed document, the court will print the document from the ECF system and provide certification service at the Intake counter in each office. The long-term solution is to educate persons who presently require certified documents (sheriffs, banks, other courts) to view the documents directly by accessing the court’s database. This will eliminate the possibility of the presentation of fraudulent documents.
