About the Service Certificate
A service certificate is a short, factual statement of someone's tenure and role — start date, end date where applicable, and designation — without the fuller narrative of responsibilities an experience letter typically carries.
Issue it when a current or former employee needs straightforward proof of service for something that only wants the facts — a bank, a visa office, or a background check — rather than a detailed account of what they did.

Frequently asked questions
How is a service certificate different from an experience letter?
A service certificate is a shorter, plainer statement of dates and role — the kind a bank or visa office asks for. An experience letter is fuller, usually written for a next employer, and can include a summary of responsibilities. Some organisations use the two names interchangeably; this generator keeps them as separate, purpose-built documents.
Can I issue this for someone still employed?
Yes — choose the "Currently serving" variant, which states their tenure to date without implying they've left.
What if the employee has already left the company?
Choose "Former employee" instead, which states a closed date range rather than an ongoing one.
