You could also call this:

"A certificate from the Registrar is trusted evidence."

Illustration for Motor Vehicle Sales Act 2003

If you get a certificate from the Registrar, it is enough evidence of certain things. The certificate can say if someone was registered or not at a certain time. It can also say what is written in the register. You can trust the certificate unless someone proves it is wrong. The Registrar signs the certificate to confirm the information. This makes the certificate a reliable source of information.
