CERTIFIED DOCUMENTS - GENERAL INFORMATION

A document/certificate is a written, drawn, presented, or memorialized representation of thought, often the manifestation of non-fictional, as well as fictional, content. The word originates from the Latin Documentum, which denotes a "teaching" or "lesson": the verb doceō denotes "to teach". In the past, the word was usually used to denote written proof useful as evidence of a truth or fact.

A document is an original or official paper relied upon as the basis, proof, or support of anything else, including any writing, book, or other instrument conveying information pertinent to such proof or support any material substance on which the thoughts of men are represented by any species of conventional mark or symbol. A certificate is a document containing a certified statement. The document is to record in documents while the certificate is to supply with a certificate, especially following certification.
