If this is not an authorized form from the CA SOS (which I understand it's not) where the heck did it come from and why, since it's UPL to do so, do so many CA notaries freely provide this form AND/OR recommend its use? I've lost count of the number of times I've read "you can't certify the copy but you can use the Certification by Document Custodian" - "I'll send you one"...or "it's on my website"..
This just confuses me..
