Departmental enquiries need not strictly follow the law of evidence. What needs to be followed is only principles of natural justice. Technicalities will not apply.

in these cases the CO will not take your words all he may want is the words he is familiar or that has already used in earlier files! - most notary public use the " terms - attested to be true copies of the original" for the very reason for person like your CO - but some of them use only the term "verified" - it also means that he had verfied the document with the orginals" - if the copies did not match the originals he will not seal it as "verified" - in bacis principle both the terms mean the same but to the person like your CO it will apear as "similar but not the same"! hope you understand the pun! - the CO wants not the words - ask him what excatly he wants?!!
