Where the authorities of a Member State in which a public document or its certified or uncertified copy is presented have, on the basis of a thorough and objective examination, reasonable doubt as to the authenticity of the public document, they maysubmit a request for information to the relevant authorities of the Member State where the document was issued, either by using the Internal Market Information System referred to in Article 8 directly, or by contacting the central authority of their Member State.

If, in an individual case, an authority has reasonable doubts concerning the authenticity of an uncertified copy of a public document issued by the authorities of another Member State or by Union authorities, it may require the original or a certified copy of that document to be submitted, the choice being at the discretion of the person submitting it.
