Self-Authenticating Documents

Read a random definition: scrambling possession

A quick definition of Self-Authenticating Documents:

Self-Authenticating Documents: Some documents can be used as evidence in court without needing to prove that they are real. These documents include things like papers that have been notarized or sworn under oath, newspapers or magazines, trade inscriptions, commercial papers or documents, and public records or official records that have been properly certified.

A more thorough explanation:

Self-authenticating documents are a special group of documents that do not require authentication in order to be used as evidence in court. This means that they can be presented as evidence without the need for additional proof that they are genuine.

Examples of self-authenticating documents include:

  • Acknowledged documents: These are documents that have been notarized or sworn under oath. Examples include contracts, deeds, and affidavits.
  • Newspapers or magazines: Articles from reputable newspapers or magazines can be used as evidence without the need for additional authentication.
  • Trade inscriptions: These are markings or labels on products that indicate their origin or manufacturer. Examples include logos or trademarks.
  • Commercial papers or documents: These are documents related to business transactions, such as invoices or receipts.
  • Public records or official records with proper certification: Examples include birth certificates, marriage licenses, and court documents.

These examples illustrate how self-authenticating documents can be used in court without the need for additional proof of authenticity. For example, if a contract has been notarized, it can be presented as evidence without the need for the notary to testify that it is genuine.
