Essential Records

Essential Records are the official, authoritative copies of important documents that are kept by government agencies or organizations to ensure their long-term preservation and legal validity. They are the original records necessary for key administrative, legal, or historical purposes, such as birth certificates, marriage licenses, or vital statistics. These records are maintained with proper procedures to protect their integrity, ensuring they remain trustworthy references over time. Essentially, they serve as the primary, official source of vital information that supports legal, administrative, and historical needs.
