What are the legal types of evidence?

The legal types of evidence generally include: documentary evidence, material evidence, audio-visual materials, witness testimony, statements of the parties, expert conclusions, etc.

1, documentary evidence

Documentary evidence is a written material that records the contents with words, symbols and patterns and expresses people's thinking or behavior related to the facts of the case. Such as administrative documents, documents, letters, handling decisions, etc. Normative documents, as the basis for administrative organs to make specific administrative actions, are documentary evidence that administrative organs must submit in litigation.

2. Physical evidence

Physical evidence is evidence to prove the facts of a case by the appearance, character, texture and specifications of objective material entities such as articles and traces. Such as the vehicle that caused the accident, the items and traces left at the scene, etc.

3. Audio-visual materials

Audio-visual materials, that is, by means of recording, video recording, scanning and other technical means, convert sounds, images and data into physical signals on various record carriers to prove the facts of the case. Such as audio-visual tapes, computer data information, etc.

4. Testimony of witnesses

Witness testimony is a statement made by a witness who knows the case directly or indirectly to the people's court to prove the facts of the case. Under normal circumstances, witnesses should present their testimony in court, but if it is really difficult to appear in court, they may submit written testimony with the permission of the people's court. Mental patients and minors should testify according to their mental health and maturity.
