Character Certificates

Certificates Kate

A character certificate is an official document that denotes and verifies the good character and conduct of a person. This document certifies the behavior and conduct of a candidate during a period spent in an institute, organization, or even country.  It is often required as a prerequisite by different organizations, such as universities, companies, financial institutions, governments, embassies, etc.

Formats of the certificate

A character certificate can be designed in programs such as Microsoft Word, or the existing templates in such programs can be used as well. Although the format of a character certificate is almost the same for all types, the reason behind it may vary. The general format includes:

  • Date
  • Name of the candidate
  • Time-period
  • Name of the issuer
  • Signature of the issuer
  • Verification statement about the good moral character of the candidate

Types of character certificate

There are various types of character certificates. The common types are:

  • Character certificate for employees: the employer might seek a certificate from the employee to ensure his character at his last job. This serves as proof to the employer that the employee has not been involved in any immoral or illegal acts.
  • Character certificate for students: while applying for higher education, the university or college may ask the student to provide a certificate that verifies his character issued by his school. This certificate is evidence that the student showed good character during his time at the school or college.
  • Character certificate for immigration or visa purposes: embassies may require the applicant to present a character certificate to ensure that they are not giving visas or residencies to criminals.
  • Police character certificate: this is a certificate issued by the police and is often required if you are applying for a scholarship or immigration.

A character certificate can be issued by a character reference such as school or college principals, local councilors, gazetted officers, reputable or authorized persons, employers, etc. One character certificate can be used for various organizations. For instance, an employee can use the same certificate while applying to various organizations. However, usually, the validity of the character certificate is one year, and after that, you need to get a new one.
