Official document a hit perhaps (7)
I believe the answer is:
charter
'official document' is the definition.
(charter is a kind of official document)
I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for charter that I've seen before include "Hire (of aircraft/ship)" , "Let or hire a ship or plane" , "Written grant; hire" , "The hiring of a ship, plane or vehicle" , "Hire a boat or aircraft" .)
