Law/Patents - Transport / Transportation / Shipping / Registration Certificate (DVLA)
English term or phrase: scanned
I cannot make out why some registration certificates (originals) have an imprint saying SCANNED on them (special notes area).

Does it mean the certificate has been scanned and a scanned copy is kept on records or what?

the watermarks are integrally introduced when the paper is produced and are independant of the text printed on the paper. In this case, I would count it as being equivalent to the original. However, this may depend on the legal interpretation which may defer from one country to another.

Note to reference poster
Asker: That was my first guess, but it still has the watermarks and looks exactly like the original. So is it equivalent to its original?
