officialness
State of being formal
The quality of being official—formal, authorized, or proper.
Officialness suggests bureaucratic legitimacy or the stiff formality that accompanies it: The letter's officialness was undermined by a misspelled signature.
The word is rare; officiality or simply official tone usually serves the same purpose.
