Certified copies of property documents are official duplicates issued and stamped by the government authority, confirming they match the original records. They are legally valid, tamper-proof, and essential for property transactions, loan approvals, and dispute resolution. These copies help verify the complete ownership chain, access older records, and serve as proof when originals are lost or damaged. Since banks, buyers, and courts often require certified copies, they ensure legal authenticity, reduce fraud risk, and keep transactions compliant with property laws.
