How it's used
Refers specifically to tangible items or documents that serve as legal or formal verification. It carries a more serious, objective tone compared to the more general word 證據. Use this when discussing receipts, contracts, or physical records rather than abstract clues or signs.

Common mistake
Often confused with 證據, but 憑據 implies a document or object that acts as a voucher or receipt, whereas 證據 is broader and covers any information that supports a claim or proves a crime.
