KembaraXtra – Legal Terms – Official Copy
An official copy is an exact certified copy of an official document issued by the authority holding the original document.
Official copies are generally admissible in legal proceedings to the same extent as the original document itself. Courts therefore accept them as reliable evidence of the contents of official records.
In *conveyancing, official copies issued by the Land Registry are commonly used as proof of title to registered land instead of producing the original deeds.
Similarly, an official copy grant of probate may be used to prove the authority of an executor to deal with the deceased person’s estate and assets.
The purpose of official copies is to provide secure and convenient evidence while preserving the original documents in official custody.
