Abstract

A method for registration of existing, physical documents determining a code through use of a data processor structure, actuating a marking assembly for applying a mark, which represents the code, on each document to be registered, actuating a registration device in response to the application of the mark through use of the data processor structure, and registering accordingly data corresponding with the code, on a protected information carrier. Because it is one and the same data processor structure that carries out the determination of the code, the application of a mark corresponding with the code, and the storage, in a protected memory, of codes that correspond with applied marks, a safeguard regarding the authenticity of stored data regarding documents is obtained in a highly efficient and reliable manner.
