Original Documents do NOT include letters from Vanguard Law. They include only important government documents (ID, Birth/Death Certificates, Passport, Titles, Wills, signed Court Documents, signed Contracts, signed Instrument of Transfer, etc.).
Picking a registered original flips it to In motion and links this entry to its custody file — nothing is re-typed. Leave blank only if it isn't in the register yet.

Check out — —

Creates the Bearer Log dispatch and flips this original to In motion — in one action.
This writes straight to the Bearer Log. One entry, linked to this custody file. It raises a “Return original” task on the responsible attorney, due on the expected return date. The bearer is mandatory — we always record who took it.
No return date, reminder or “Return original” task will be set. If this is a permanent handover, complete it with Release & archive so the Acknowledgement of Receipt is captured.

Check in — —

Records the Bearer Log return and puts this original back In custody.
Recorded against the linked Bearer Log dispatch —. Writes the check-in to the chain of custody and closes the open “Return original” task.

Release & archive — —

A permanent handover. The record closes and archives once released.
Release requires the signed Acknowledgement of Receipt of Documents (or the copy letter enclosing it).
Tier 1 release must be instructed by an attorney.
