Download a free COPY stamp image below in red, blue, or black. Each PNG has a transparent background, so the document under it stays readable.
A COPY stamp shows that a document is a duplicate and not the original. It prevents two problems: the same invoice paid twice, and a duplicate treated as the signed original.

When to use a COPY stamp
- Duplicate invoices: Stamp the second copy you send when a customer asks for the invoice again. Their accounts team can then see it is not a new charge.
- Signed contracts: Keep the signed original clean and share stamped copies with people who only need to read it.
- Certificates and licences: Mark a scan you share for information, so it is not presented as the original document.
- File copies: Mark the copy that stays in a project folder when the original is stored in another place.
Where to put the stamp
- Put the stamp in the top right corner or diagonally in blank space on the first page.
- Do not cover the invoice number, the totals, or any signature.
- Stamp every page of a short document when pages could be separated.
- Keep an unstamped original. The stamp cannot be removed from the stamped file.

What the stamp does not do
COPY is a plain label. It is not a certified true copy. A certified copy needs a statement and a signature from a person who is allowed to certify documents, under the rules that apply to you.

No. The stamp only says that the file is a duplicate. A certified true copy must be certified by an authorized person, and the rules depend on the document and the place.
▸Why stamp a duplicate invoice?
A second copy with no mark can be entered and paid a second time. The word COPY tells the receiver that the invoice was sent before.
