Original files, screenshots or scans?
Preserve original files where possible because they may retain context or metadata that a screenshot or scan does not. Use readable copies for presentation, and record where each copy came from.

Original files
Keep the source file unchanged in secure storage and record how it was obtained.
Screenshots
Useful for visible context, account screens or message excerpts, but preserve the full source or export where lawfully available.
Scans
Useful for paper records. Record what document was scanned and keep the original paper where practical.
Annotated and redacted copies
Make changes only on a working copy and keep the untouched original separately.
Official starting sources
Thailand
Use these as authoritative starting points. The selected state, province, region, court, regulator or issuing authority may require an additional official source before relying on a deadline, filing route, monetary limit or remedy.
Important limitation
GetInstantProof does not certify that any file is authentic or forensically preserved.
