§ 2105 Certification by attorney

When you need an official certified copy of a document for a court case, a licensed New York attorney can certify it for you. The attorney looks at the original document, compares it to the copy, and confirms in writing that the copy is accurate and complete.

This attorney certification carries the same legal weight as a certification made by a court clerk. So you do not need to go to a courthouse and have a clerk stamp or certify your document if you have an attorney who can do it instead.
