An agency can make the source of a digital record easier to check while keeping decisions with authorized public officials. Start with a clearly defined service and its existing approval process.

## Public administration: Give an official document a verification link

Recipients struggle to distinguish an agency-issued document from an altered copy.

### What to record

Issue a signed record of the approved document details, responsible agency identity, document reference, and managed record status.

### What to review

Let recipients check the issuer, content match, and status, then confirm the agency’s authority through their normal process.

### The outcome

A straightforward way to check the source and integrity of an agency record.

## Procurement agencies: Keep a procurement review tied to its evidence

Supplier submissions and assessment notes can become separated as a procurement progresses.

### What to record

Record submission fingerprints, the evaluation version, reviewer responsibilities, and approved decision references with access controls.

### What to review

Compare the reviewed evidence with later submissions and keep the authorized procurement team responsible for the decision.

### The outcome

A clearer history of the information and approvals used in procurement review.

## National service agencies: Record a case handoff between agencies

The receiving agency may not know which version of a case record was transferred.

### What to record

Create a signed handoff receipt with case references, a minimal evidence manifest, and the sending agency’s identity.

### What to review

Check the supplied package against the receipt and use approved channels to resolve missing or changed information.

### The outcome

A documented handoff without requiring every agency to use the same case-management application.

## Before you begin

Evaluate hosting, procurement, access, and data requirements for your agency before integration. Use only information approved for the intended audience.
