Practical evidence checklist
Keep the governing notification or rule, effective-date note, identity and authority documents, transaction records, calculations, filed forms, payment proof, acknowledgements, notices and responses. Add a short reconciliation explaining every material mismatch. Review continuing duties after approval or filing; many registrations, claims and licences fail later because renewal, reporting, display, record or change-notification duties were ignored.
