What are certified copies?

A certified digital document is an electronic copy of a student’s degree certificate, academic transcript, or other graduation documents of which the content and authenticity can be securely verified online. A certified hard copy is a physical copy of a student’s degree certificate, academic transcript, or other graduation document that carries an official stamp, date, and signature in ink from an authorized institution/individual (e.g. notary or school official).
