Rule 1003 Admissibility of Duplicates

Copies of documents are generally allowed as evidence in court, just like the original. You do not need to bring the original to prove your case.

There are two situations where a copy might not be accepted. First, if someone seriously questions whether the original is real, the court may require the original instead. Second, if using a copy would somehow be unfair given the circumstances of the case, the court can reject it.
