Ind. Evidence Rule 1005
Copies of Public Records to Prove Content
Effective January 1, 2014
The proponent may use a copy to prove the content of an official record or of a document that was
recorded or filed in a public office as authorized by law if these conditions are met: the record or document is otherwise admissible; and the copy is certified as correct in accordance with Rule 902(4)
or is testified to be correct by a witness who has compared it with the original. If no such copy can
be obtained by reasonable diligence, then the proponent may use other evidence to prove the content.

The link goes to the issuing authority’s own document — the one we read to produce this record. Where a source publishes whole titles rather than sections, your browser may need a moment to jump to the provision.
Unofficial copy of government-published law, reproduced from official sources with full provenance. Not an official publication; verify against official sources before relying on it in a filing. Records in the 'guidance' corpus, and only that corpus, are sub-regulatory (interpretive guidelines, survey procedures) and are not binding law. Validity bounds follow each jurisdiction's declared temporalBasis.
