Eric,<br>
<br>
In my experience, a plain copy is just that. A plain copy with nothing on it from anyone saying that the copy is a true and accurate copy of the original.<br>
<br>
A certified copy bears a stamp by the Clerk of the Court, signed by the Clerk of the Court, saying that they reviewed the copy they are giving you, that it is a true and accurate copy of what is in the court file. <br>
<br>
I’m sure I’ve never been asked an “exemplified” copy of anything. <br>
<br>
However, I have had to secure an “Apostilled” copy of an <em><b><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">already certified copy of a</span></b></em> court order. The “apostilled” copies are required by foreign courts. It swears to the authenticity of the
judge’s signature and swears to his position (as judge) and appropriateness to act.<br>
<br>
In my case, the Clerk of the U.S. court executed a certificate ( or separate half sheet of paper.) The certificate swearing to the above (signature authenticity & appropriateness to act.) <br>
<br>
When I secured an apostilled order, the clerk took a little box out from her drawer. It had a card for every judge in the court house. The card was dated, identified the judge, address of court, etc. and bore the judge’s original signature. This signature
card must have an expiration date because in our case, the judge’s card had just expired. We had to wait while the clerk’s office tracked down the judge and renewed his card. The clerk compared the handwriting on his card to the handwriting on the order that
required being “apostilled.” The certificate of apostille was then stapled to the already certified copy of court order. <br>
<br>
I suspect an exemplified copy is roughly equivalent to an apostilled document and perhaps been used in similar circumstances. <br>
