“a copy of a document signed and certified as a true copy by the
officer to whose custody the original is intrusted.”

Some organizations will not accept standard copies and require that
your copy be certified. The Superior Court Clerk can assist you with
a certified copy request. You should contact the Clerk first to be
sure they have the document you will be requesting. Be prepared with
your Civil Action Number, the original names of the parties, the
County where the case was finalized, and the approximate date of the
Order you are requesting. Certified copies are generally only
obtained in person at the Clerk's office. Typical Clerk fees for a
certified copy 1st page is $2.50 and after 1st
page is $0.50/ page. www.gwinnettcourts.com - fees
