gazetted

Published in records

Gazetted describes something that has been officially published in a government gazette—the formal journal where official appointments, honors, and legal notices are announced.

In British and Commonwealth contexts, to be gazetted typically means receiving official recognition of a military commission, promotion, or award: He was gazetted as a captain in 1942.

The term carries connotations of formal bureaucratic legitimacy and public record.
