the question might sound weird but what i'm trying to say is that there are documents that are printed out on security type paper that says "VOID" all over when photocopied. is there any chance the person can know if the document is photocopied by looking at the original paper?

I strongly doubt it. As the original would probably be laid on a glass screen there is no reason for it to come into contact with carbon - that should only happen to the copy. It is difficult to think of any way that the original would show evidence of copying in those circumstances.

yea, what the other guy said could be true. if they closely examined it in a lab and found carbon on the document, they could conclude it was photocopied, but they couldn't 100% prove it.
but they would only examine a document like that if it involved a murder case or something along that line.
but just by looking at it, nobody would be able to tell it was photocopied, not even the bank or anyone. they would literally have to send it to the FBI and have it examined.
the FBI wouldn't even take it unless it was regarding a major major case.

Yes the photocopy shows signs of carbon when examined closely. The carbon shows because of the powder in the cartridge.

Some original documents can't be copied, you break the law.
You can go to a Notary and have this document varified that it is in your possession.
