Limitations

The method applies only to records included in a named WIMA policy release.

A checksum can establish file identity but not truth, legal effect or continuing currency. Read the canonical publication, its methodology and its cited sources before relying on the material.

To report a mismatch, use the corrections process and identify WIMA-POL-METHOD. Do not send private identity or case material.
