# §2.286. Can I get an authenticated copy of a Department record?


Yes. We may provide an authenticated copy of a Department record, for purposes of admissibility under Federal, State or Tribal law. We will do this only if the record has been officially released or would otherwise be released under [§ 2.13](/cfr/43/2.13.md) or this subpart.
