Issue a bonafide certificate
Certify that someone is a genuine employee, intern, trainee or student of your organisation, for a bank, a passport or visa office, or as address proof.
A bonafide certificate states, to whom it may concern, that a person is genuinely associated with your organisation, and is issued for one stated purpose. ForgeDocs prints the facts from the person’s record, so their name, guardian, address and role match what you hold.
Before you start
Open the person under People and check their details: salutation, the guardian’s name with S/o, D/o, W/o or C/o, date of birth and residential address (typing the PIN code fills the city, district and state). For an employee, their employment record gives the designation, department and joining date.
Create the certificate
- Start the certificate
Choose Create, then Bonafide certificate.
- Choose the person
Pick them from the list. Employees are listed first; people with No employment record, such as students or trainees, are listed too.
- Say how they are associated, for someone without an employment record
Choose Associated as (intern, trainee, apprentice, student, contract staff or consultant), With you since and their Role or programme. For an employee these come from their record.
- Choose the purpose
Pick what it is for: opening a bank account, a passport application, a visa application, address proof or an education loan, or describe something else. The certificate says it is issued for that purpose only.
- Choose what to print
Tick Print their residential address for address proof, and Print their date of birth when the office asks for it.
- Sign and generate
Choose who signs and the issue date, then generate. The certificate gets the next number in its own series (for example BON-2026-00001) and is printed on your letterhead with the signature and stamp.
Other letters built the same way
NOC letter (for a passport, travel with leave dates, higher studies or outside work), Promotion letter (with an option to update the employee record when it is issued) and Warning letter work the same way: facts come from the person’s record and you type only what is new. A warning letter has no QR code and no public verification page.
