What is a conformed copy?
Conformed copies are accurate copies of the document that is ready if it is not possible to simply duplicate a copy of the original document. As a result, the conformed copy is to re -create the original. In order to be this type of copy, the document must contain all the elements of the original, without changes in formulation or structure, no matter how small or insignificant changes may occur.
A conformed copy can be used in a number of instances. Judicial systems allow the use of these documents and often use them for submission purposes. If this is the case, the copy is entered and designed exactly as the original. In addition, all notations handwritten on the edge will be included in the document. The court official compares a copy with the original to ensure that all aspects of both documents are similar, including any data. If the judge's signature appears on the original, the judge may also sign a conformed copy or may be the name of the Judge Typened and dated to the relevant fields. Upon completion of the comparison and the clerk determinesthat documents are mirrors, copies are stamped and assigned the date of submission.
businesses also use this format. This is often the case where more departments need access to contracts and other important documents. The original signed documents are usually kept in a safe place, while conformed copies or copies are made available for general use between different departments in the organization. This approach ensures that there is always a copy of the original signed document at hand, but allows extensive access to the conditions of the document to those who need this information to help clients or otherwise perform their work related tasks.
The same individual that served as a signatory in the original document can sign Conformed Copies. If this is not possible or practical, the individual's name can be entered in the signature field. Similarly, it is possible to confirm or NOTaris copy. However, this action is usually considered unnecessary.
