The Town Clerk and Commissioner for Oaths may not certify documents or attest that a copy of a document is a true copy of the original document unless the document originates from the Town of Kirkland. However, they may administer an oath to the person presenting the copy and declare that the copy is a true copy of the original document. However, this declaration does not have the effect of giving authenticity to the copy. Indeed, only the custodian of an authentic document (for example: the notary for a notarized will, the Directeur de l’état civil for a birth certificate) can give such a value to a copy.
