Where would you obtain a certified copy of an undertaking?

A certified copy of an undertaking is obtained from the court because the court is the official entity that oversees the bail process and has the authority to issue such documents. When an undertaking is executed, it must be filed with the court, making it the proper place to request a certified copy. Courts keep official records of all bail proceedings, including undertakings, ensuring that the copies are authentic and carry legal weight.

The other locations mentioned, such as your surety company, a notary public, or a local bank, do not have the same legal standing or responsibility to provide certified copies of court documents. While a surety company may go through the process of creating and filing an undertaking, only the court can provide a certified version of that document. Notary publics primarily handle the notarization of documents rather than issuing certified court documents. Local banks may offer various services but do not provide certified copies of legal documents such as bail undertakings issued by the court.
