How it's used
Refers specifically to a document or object that serves as legal or formal evidence of a transaction or claim. It carries a more formal and administrative tone compared to the everyday word 證據 which is used for general evidence or clues. You will frequently encounter it in financial or bureaucratic contexts.

Common mistake
Do not use this word to describe physical evidence in a criminal investigation, as 證物 is the standard term for that context. It is also not used for personal identity documents, for which you should use 身份證明文件.
