FAQ

Who can issue a certificate?

The organisation that knows the facts - a school, employer, society or local authority - or, for a declaration, you yourself. Offices usually want it on letterhead with a stamp or seal.

Is a self-declaration valid?

For many purposes yes, if the receiving office allows it. For legal use you may need a notarised affidavit or an official certificate.

How long is a certificate valid?

There is often no legal expiry, but offices commonly accept a certificate only for 3 to 6 months from its date.
