Verification

Verification documents

Confirmations issued to a third party rather than to the employee: a bank, a consulate, a university, another employer. They usually need to state a fact plainly and avoid volunteering anything the requester did not ask for.

Telling these documents apart

What's the difference between an employment verification letter and a bonafide certificate?

An employment verification letter confirms someone works or worked for you, usually in response to a specific request from a bank, background-check firm, or prospective employer. A bonafide certificate is broader — proof of genuine association with your organisation, often for an official or academic process rather than an employment check specifically.

When would I issue a No Objection Certificate instead?

A No Objection Certificate confirms you don't object to something specific the employee wants to do — travel, further study, or outside work — rather than confirming a fact about their employment. It's a permission record, not a verification record.

Do verification documents usually go to the employee or to a third party?

To a third party, in most cases — that's the point of this whole group. They're written to state a fact plainly for whoever is asking, without volunteering information the requester didn't ask for.

How is an internship completion certificate different from an employment verification letter?

An internship completion certificate confirms someone completed a fixed-term internship — usually for their academic institution or a future employer — scoped to the internship's dates and what it involved. An employment verification letter confirms ongoing or past regular employment, usually in response to a specific request such as a bank or background check.
