An official gazette is the legal newspaper of a country which publishes the text of new laws, decrees, regulations, treaties, legal notices, and court decisions.
The laws published in official gazettes are primary law in the official source; publication in the gazette, in many cases, initiates jurisdiction.
The text published is the authoritative version, and commonly, the only published version.
