An official is someone who holds an office (function or mandate, regardless whether it carries an actual working space with it) in an organisation or government and participates in the exercise of authority (either his own or that of his superior and/or employer, public or legally private). A government official or functionary is an official who is involved in public administration or government, through either election, appointment, or employment. A bureaucrat is a member of the bureaucracy. An elected official is a person who is an official by virtue of an election. Officials may also be appointed ex officio (by virtue of another office, often in a specified capacity, such as presiding, advisory, secretary). Some official positions may be inherited. A person who currently holds an office is referred to as an incumbent. The word official as a noun has been recorded since the Middle English period, first seen in 1314. It comes from the Old French official (12th century), from the Latin officialis ("attendant to a magistrate, public official"), the noun use of the original adjective officialis ("of or belonging to duty, service, or office") from officium ("office"). The meaning "person in charge of some public work or duty" was first recorded in 1555. The adjective is first attested in English in 1533, via the Old French oficial. The informal term officialese, the jargon of "officialdom," was first recorded in 1884. From Wikipedia under the
GNU Free Documentation License Applying to universities in the UK. Is an official transcript considered an original document? Q. I'm applying to some universities in the UK for grad school. They are asking for photocopies of transcripts and they ask not to send originals. Ok, but, I got official transcripts from the 2 universities I attended.

However, I obviously need to write up a contract to avoid all damages and unpaid rent. My question is, what makes a contract official? What's the difference between signing a contract to pay for say, a membership somewhere, and some dude just writing something and someone else signs it and it has no meaning? Do I need to get a lawyer involved or something? I know that I definitely need to get a unrelated witness to sign it as well. Basically, I just want something to ASSURE myself ZERO liability once that subletter signs my contract. How do I ensure that? Yes, I do have permission to sublet.

"Basically, I just want something to ASSURE myself ZERO liability once that subletter signs my contract. How do I ensure that?" The textbook solution is to do what is called a "novation". If you keep this between you and the subtenant, if they breach the lease, you are still personally responsible to the landlord. What you want to do is substitute the new tenant for you, whereby they assume all of your liabilities, and the landlord releases you completely. A novation is a document where all three of you agree that the new tenant will be substituted for you, and that you are no longer bound. But the reality is that attorneys have all but forgotten how to write them, so there's a simpler way to do it that doesn't require an attorney… [cont.] Answered by open4one - Tue Apr 3 00:05:38 2007 How do I make my product an official product of the Olympics?
