Frequent questions

Frequently asked questions

Can a certificate of facts be used as evidence in court?

Yes. Coming from a public officer, it carries a presumption of truth regarding what was directly observed, though the other party may challenge it.

Can I request the certificate the same day?

In many cases yes. Call ahead to confirm availability and requirements; the facts must be verifiable on-site.

What does a certificate of facts NOT cover?

Only facts perceptible by the senses: it does not assess intent, fault, or legal interpretations. Other instruments serve those purposes.
