Document issuer — Drivers Abstract

Ontario's official pages describe its record options, while My Drivers Abstract identifies the particular private Ontario ordering services it offers.
Meaning in this reference
The document issuer is the authority associated with the record being requested. It should be kept distinct from a reference website explaining the product and a private service arranging an order. Ontario's official pages describe its record options, while My Drivers Abstract identifies the particular private Ontario ordering services it offers.
Use the term in context
For a request involving another jurisdiction, ask which authority's document the recipient expects. A generic domain name, a person's current residence or an intermediary's location does not establish Canada-wide record coverage. Keep the named issuer and product with each request so that an Ontario example is not presented as a universal description of every licensing authority's records.
