A certificate is an official document, which is used when it is necessary to confirm this or that fact. References are widespread in the workflow and are often considered as a necessary and sufficient source of information. For this reason, their falsification is a very common phenomenon. The specialist receiving the certificates must be able to distinguish this document from a fake.

Step 1
Evaluate the information in the help. It must contain: - the full official name of the issuing organization. If the document is prepared by an individual entrepreneur, his surname, first name and patronymic must be indicated in full, as well as the individual taxpayer number (TIN); - details: date of issue and registration number; - name of the addressee to whom the certificate is intended, or the purpose of issuing the certificate; - indication to the city in which the certificate was issued; - signature of the head of the organization or individual entrepreneur; - stamp of a legal entity or individual entrepreneur.

Step 4
If you find the indicated shortcomings, find out from the bearer of the certificate the telephone number of the organization or individual entrepreneur who issued the certificate. You can also find out the phone number yourself by contacting the help desk or using the Internet. Contact the person whose name the certificate is signed and ask to confirm whether the document was actually issued to the bearer and what information it contained.
