crvs:Certificate

https://publicschema.org/crvs/Certificate

draft

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).

A reference to a CivilStatusRecord. Used on annotations to point to the record being annotated, and on certificates to point to the record from which the certificate is issued.

The civil registration or judicial office that issued the certificate. May differ from the office that holds the underlying record, for example when an embassy issues a certificate based on a record held elsewhere.
Certificate document type string (crvs/certificate-document-type)
The type of event the certificate attests to (birth, death, marriage, divorce, adoption). Describes what the document is about, orthogonal to its format.
Certificate format string (crvs/certificate-format)

Evidence

Standard Equivalent Match
OpenCRVS v2 event service PrintCertificateAction related
PrintCertificateAction is an ActionDocument variant (type=PRINT_CERTIFICATE) that carries an optional content.templateId. This records the act of printing rather than the certificate as a legal document object; the match has narrowed from v1's close to related because the v2 action is structurally thinner than our Certificate concept.
