Every information carrier that allows to get acquainted with its content is a document, although many different forms of it can be found on the market at the same time. The article discusses the essence of the regulation of Article 773 of the Civil Code, trying to clarify the disputed issues against the background of the existing acquis of doctrine and judicature. The parallel aim of the study is to draw attention to the fact that other premises determine the existence of the document and others determine that the document is correct, valid or complete.
