When can a reporter with provisional certification produce a transcript of the record?

A reporter with provisional certification is permitted to produce a transcript of the record before the expiration of their provisional status. This allows the reporter to gain practical experience while working under certification, as long as they adhere to the guidelines set by the governing body. If their certification is valid and has not expired, they are fully authorized to create and produce certified transcripts.

Moreover, producing transcripts after the expiration of provisional certification is not permitted, as the individual is no longer recognized as qualified to provide certified documentation. Additionally, the temporary status is designed to facilitate the transition to full certification, not to grant unlimited or indefinite authority to produce records.

It's important for reporters to understand the timelines related to their certification and ensure they operate within the scope of their current status to maintain the integrity and legality of the transcripts they produce.
