Certificate of Service
Certificate of Service is the formal document issued to certify a public officer's service history, usually summarizing key facts such as post, period of service, and status for official purposes.
When it is used
Certificates of service may be required for pension processing, verification by another employer, immigration or licensing purposes, or to support official claims where service history must be proven.
Why it matters
The certificate must match the underlying service record. If the source data is weak, the certificate can become a point of dispute or delay.
