How to certify a web page?

There are many situations in which you need to notarize the contents of web pages. For example, it may be necessary to use the content in litigation, to prove various facts. In Russian legal practice, there is no such thing as a “notarized screenshot” or “a certified copy of a web page”. However, there is a procedure for providing evidence, in essence and meaning very close to such a "assurance".
Step-by-step instructions for certifying a web page

According to internetnotarius.ru, for the certification of web pages, it is important that the information is available online, that is, a screenshot of the site cannot be verified. The procedure is as follows:

• First of all, there is no time to lose. For example, if the information contained online contains evidence of an offense, an attacker can easily remove information that incriminates him and it will be impossible to prove anything. Therefore, it is necessary to fix the fact immediately.
• To make notarization of the site page , you need to send a notary public link to the notary. If in order to gain access to the site you need to enter a login and password, you must come in person and report this data.
• The notary inspects the website and draws up an appropriate protocol. The document records all the facts that were established during the inspection. That is, all audiovisual and graphic objects, text information, as well as technical information about the access mode to the web resource are listed. Screenshots and other evidence may be attached to the protocol.
• A ready-made protocol is issued only in person. That is, you can order a website inspection remotely (so as not to waste precious time), but you need to receive it personally by coming to a notary public with a passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation.

As a result of passing this procedure, you will receive a ready-made evidence that has legal force.

How can I use the site inspection protocol?
In court, this document is accepted as written evidence, that is, it is inferior in strength to personal testimony, however, in the absence of more compelling evidence, it may well provide a court decision in favor of the plaintiff.

In addition, the presence of such a document allows you to put pressure on the violator, forcing him to seek a world solution without bringing the case to court. Therefore, the passage of the procedure described in the article is a powerful tool to counter online crimes.
