Certified True Copy vs Certified Xerox Copy

Here’s a puzzle. Michelle was following up with their HR regarding the requirements for claiming SSS maternity benefits and they responded with this one interesting item: Certified true copy of child’s birth certificate (Please take note: It should certified true copy and not certified xerox copy from the original).

So how do you make a true copy (by itself already an oxymoron) prior to it being certified? Apparently not by photocopying. But how else can you make a  copy? Laser printer? Doesn’t that use the same toner and drum technology? Offset printing? By hand? Really beats me. The sad thing is that this stupid bureaucratic mumbo jumbo probably have some twisted meaning somewhere.
