crvs:Certificate
A document issued from a civil status record or vital event that attests to the event for external use. Distinct from the underlying record: certificates can be issued repeatedly, in different formats (full copy, extract, multilingual extract under ICCS/CIEC conventions), and by different offices (for example, an embassy issuing an extract of a record held in the country of origin).
