GPO’s Seal of Authenticity

For almost 150 years, the U.S. Government Printing Office (GPO) has been the official disseminator of Government documents and assure users of their authenticity.

In the 21st century, the increasing use of electronic documents poses special challenges in verifying authenticity, because digital technology makes such documents easy to alter or copy, leading to multiple non-identical versions that can be used in unauthorized or illegitimate ways.
