Some offices ask for their own format. If so, use theirs.

FAQ

Is a character certificate the same as a police character certificate?

No. A police clearance (PCC) is issued by the police after verification. This tool prepares a character certificate from a school, employer or individual.

Does it expire?

There is no fixed validity, but many offices want one issued in the last three to six months. Ask for a fresh one if yours is old.
