The documents people are referring to are copies of the presidential pardons listed on the Federal Register. The Federal Register publishes copies of presidential documents, not original documents, on its website.
Communications staff at the National Archives told fact-checking site Snopes: "At the beginning of each administration, the White House sends a sample of the President's signature to the Office of the Federal Register, which uses it to create the graphic image for all Presidential Documents published in the Federal Register."
Trump's January 6 pardons, where he pardoned over 1,500 individuals convicted or charged in connection with the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot, including some involved in violent confrontations with police officers, were signed by Executive Order on January 20, 2025.
