Government Document Defined * وثائق حكومية مستندات رسمية

A "government document" is an official, authoritative publication issued by or for a government body or agency and administrative organizations at all levels. In a broader sense, government publications include those issued by international organizations and agencies. Books, pamphlets, posters, periodicals, and online databases are also government documents if they are produced by a government agency.
