Original or copy okay from witness? COP

[Dino]

The manager at mum's nursing home has said if I email her the paperwork she will give notice to mum about me applying for Deputyship.

She will then email them back to me to send to the COP.

My question is would the copies be acceptable or do they have to be the originals?

The manager must fill in her name etc and other info.

I don't want to send copies then have the COP take time to tell me they should have been the originals.

I can send the manager the paperwork by mail then she can mail them from England. (I'm in the US)

How can you e-mail a document that needs to be signed and witnessed? Any copy wouldn't be an authentic signature would it?
