You can download and save the certificate (PDF format) on your computer. After this, you can print the certificate at your convenience. We advise printing an extra copy and keeping it with your insurance papers! You will find a link to generate the certificate in your invoice. Please visit Your Invoices and select an invoice. Next to the price, you see the download link.
Alternatively, we can provide a printed certificate and include it in your shipment.

Certificates are generated from the item description. Therefore, for lots including multiple items, we generate only one certificate.
