Under the Federal Rules of Evidence, it is a self-authenticating document. and needs no further verification to be admitted into evidence.

So whatever the administrative entity of any of the various governments (or one of it's officers) says is automatically prima facie evidence with no way to confirm, challenge, or rebut it.

How conveeeenient.

Well there is that pesky section 1 of Article IV of the Constitution.
“Full faith and credit shall be given in each state to the public acts, records, and judicial proceedings of every other state. And the Congress may by general laws prescribe the manner in which such acts, records, and proceedings shall be proved, and the effect thereof.”

Any public record can be challenged. Self-authentification means that the issuing authority does not have to prove that an official record is authentic. The burden of proof is on the challenger to an official document’s authenticity.
