Doesn’t a JP only certify the copy, agreeing that the original exists and they have sighted it.
I don’t think showing them a copy will be much good on its own.
I'm only guessing really but I think they should be ok if the digital copies could be considered the original. For example I would expect that a printout of a digital bank statement would be something that you could get certified as you can pull up your bank website/app and display the 'original', but you might run into issues trying to convince someone that a photo of a card counts as it's clearly not the original form.
When I was renting I got my bills by email and printed 2 copies of the document. One for the JP to sign and one to keep as the original.
