This service shall be free of cost when possible; otherwise it shall be at actual cost of reproduction of the records. On the same basis of cost, the division shall furnish records within its custody to other agencies or departments of state, county, or city, certifying them. Copies of records of the division, when so certified by the chief of the division, shall be admitted in evidence, without further identification, in any court proceeding in the state if the substance of the record is properly admissible in the proceeding.
