submitted 122 years ago by ch. 748 to r/title-43-PUBLIC-LANDS · 64 words · no verdicts yet

in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

Copies of records from U.S. district land offices can be used as evidence in court. The Secretary of the Interior, or officers the Secretary picks, must certify the copy first. Certified copies count exactly like the original records.

Transcripts (copies) of the records kept in district land offices can be used as evidence, once the Secretary of the Interior — or an officer the Secretary designates — makes and certifies the copy. These certified copies can be used in any U.S. or territorial court, and before any official allowed to receive evidence. They carry the same legal force as the original records.

Transcripts of the records in the district land offices, when made and duly certified to by the Secretary of the Interior or such officers as he may designate for individuals, shall be admitted as evidence in all courts of the United States and the Territories thereof, and before all officials authorized to receive evidence, with the same force and effect as the original records.
