The reason why public records like Columbia County Public Records are being requested from the government is because of the fact that these records are the official records of the government in regards to the facts that are written on the records, and this means that they are the best evidence that one could present in order to prove the happening of the events that are written on the record. These events are events that would have effects upon the lives of not only those who have taken part in the event in question, but also the members of the community.


It must first be noted, however, that these records are rather limited as they could only hold as much information given that they are tangible. This means that the limitations of the medium upon which the records are written means that only those information that are the most relevant to the title of the record would be included in the record and those that are not related to the title would not be found in the same. Thus, divorce records would not contain information in regards to the marriage of the couple who had gotten divorced even if the marriage is a condition precedent to the happening of the divorce.

As the official records of the government, these records are afforded the presumption of regularity such that the contents of the records are presumed to be true and accurate at all times. There is no obligation on the part of the party presenting the records from having to prove that the contents of the records are true and accurate, but there is still the need to prove that the records were obtained from the proper sources as only such records would be given the presumption in question. In addition, the presumption is not absolute and could be overturned through the use of competent evidence that would be presented by the party who would claim that the contents of the records are false.

One would usually make the request for copies of the public records at the place that made the records in the first place for most records are kept at the place that made the records. This means that the first obligation of the person who would want to make the request would be to determine where the records are being kept. This is also important given that most offices would prescribe their own method that one would use in order to make the request for copies of the records in question, though it must be noted that this would usually be either through the mail or in person.

It is also possible to find copies of Columbia County Judicial Records online through the use of internet-based online databases. While not official sources, the information that they could present would practically be the same as that which could be found from the official sources, and because they are internet-based, they could present the information faster and more efficiently, though it must be noted that because they are not official sources, any and all information obtained through them do not enjoy the presumption of regularity.
