In the 21st century, papers are no longer simply created on paper and ink; they may also be extracted from discs, memory cards in computers, smartphones, and other devices and sent to other people in both tangible and intangible forms, such as electronic documents. The use of electronic documents has become so widespread that laws are developed to take them into account. In this age of big data, electronic documents have been acknowledged as a sort of documentary evidence, and regulations governing electronic evidence have been modified in terms of its authenticity and weight, or evidential value. In terms of law, documentary evidence is recognised as one type of evidence. Sekolah Kebangsaan (F) Bukit Jalor has been selected for this case study as a way to further explore these issues. This is relevant to the study's objectives, which include examining public servants' knowledge of the use of digital documents as evidence in governmental institutions, particularly in the field of education. The findings of the study employ SPSS as a tool for the purpose of measuring the discussed components. These includes concerning the issues of authenticity, acceptance, and admissibility of digital documents, as well as the method that is established for classifying digital documents, the pertinent aspects that are investigated for this study. The results of this study can be utilized to investigate the level of comprehension and awareness of digital document management as evidence among public officials in their respective areas of responsibility, which include the administration of schools as well as teaching and learning in schools in general. In conclusion, the respondent's grasp of digital documents and their level of awareness as evidence are commensurate with the progression of technology used in public services.
