Is certified true copy of a document same as authenticated copy?

A certified true copy and an authenticated copy are not the same, though they serve similar purposes. A certified true copy is a reproduction of a document that has been verified and confirmed as a true representation of the original by a qualified authority, often a notary public. An authenticated copy, on the other hand, typically refers to a document that has been officially verified by a government entity or a consulate to confirm its legitimacy for use in legal or official contexts.
