Bonafide Certificate Request Letter
The short answer
A bonafide certificate says you are a student of the college. People ask for it for a bank account, a passport, a scholarship, a loan or a travel concession. State the purpose in the letter, because the certificate is usually worded for it. The template does that.
A letter from the college that you are a student there.
Leave empty for “The Principal”. Use the Head of Department or the Dean if that is who signs.
Your letter
Copy the letter onto paper in your own handwriting, or paste it into an email to your college. Adjust any line so it is true for you, and attach the documents the letter mentions. Your details stay in your browser.
