Captures the infringement as a bailiff's record — evidence with far stronger probative value than screenshots you saved yourself.

Infringing material online disappears fast once the infringer knows it has been noticed. A bailiff's record fixes the state of affairs at a defined moment, and only a bailiff can make one — nothing else carries the same weight.

- **Who may perform this:** Only a bailiff (thừa phát lại) may issue this record
- **Timeline:** Typically 1–3 working days once the target is identified
- **How pricing works:** Quoted by the number of records and the volume of material captured.
- **Can you do it yourself:** Most initial evidence gathering you can and should do yourself right away — the evidence page explains how to preserve it properly. A bailiff's record is needed only when you intend to take the matter to an authority.

## Deliverables

- A bailiff's record of the state of affairs you specify
- A stored copy of the evidence with its timestamp

## What you provide

- The exact URL, location or item to be recorded
- Documents showing your rights in the subject matter
