Certificate preview

Your club’s registration certificate, as a PDF.

Add your club’s seal, enter your club and animal names, and download a registration certificate template. No account, and nothing to install. The sample cat, dog and reptile records are made up, so you can see the layout before your own studbook is involved.

Your certificate

See it with your seal.

Sample species

Sample data. On a real certificate the registered name, number and details come from your studbook.

Send the tool to another registrar or board member. The link carries no names and no seal.

Sample data

The free tool

What you get, and what you do not.

The free tool draws one standard certificate layout with your club’s name and your seal on it. You choose a sample species, type a registered name, and download the PDF. The seal is optional, and a certificate with no seal prints without one. The seal is used only to draw your PDF.

The PDF is a sample. The registry details are fictional, there is no QR code on it, and its footer says it is not verifiable on breedledger.co. Nobody can check it against a registry, because it is not a record of one.

Why it matters

A certificate is only as good as the registry behind it.

When members, buyers and other clubs see the same layout, the same seal and the same number format on every certificate your club issues, they learn what a real one looks like. A certificate that changes shape from one registrar to the next is easy to copy and hard to trust. Setting the layout once, and drawing every certificate from the studbook rather than from a template someone retypes, is what keeps the record and the paper in step.

With a subscription

What a Breed Ledger subscription adds.

Issued from the studbook

A certificate for every registration the club approves once your club turns on certificates, made from the studbook record, so the name and number on the paper are the ones in the record.

A QR code and a public verify page

A QR code on each newly issued certificate that opens a public verify page, so a buyer or another club can check it.

Reissue and revoke

Reissue with a recorded reason when a detail changes, and revoke a registration when it must come off the books. The verify page then shows it as revoked, and its certificates as void.

A seal set once

Your club’s seal set once in settings and used on every certificate.

Questions

Questions about the free certificate tool.

Is the certificate generator free?
Yes. You can add your club’s name and seal, choose a sample species, and download the PDF without an account.
What file types can I use for my club’s seal?
PNG or JPEG up to 2 MB, or SVG up to 256 KB. The seal is optional, and it is used only to draw your PDF.
Is the PDF a real registration certificate?
No. It is a sample made from details typed into the page. The certificate reads “This certificate was generated from details entered by the user and is not a record of any registry.” and its footer reads “Made with Breed Ledger's free certificate tool. Not verifiable on breedledger.co.”
Can someone verify a certificate from the free tool?
No. The free PDF has no QR code and nothing to look up. Verification belongs to certificates a registry issues from its studbook, which carry a QR code that opens the club’s verify page.
What does a Breed Ledger subscription add to a certificate?
Certificates issued for each approved registration once your club turns on certificates, a QR code and public verify page, reissue with a recorded reason, revoke, and a seal you set once for every certificate.
Does the tool work for cats, dogs and reptiles?
Yes. The three sample records use a fictional cat registry, a fictional dog registry and a fictional reptile registry, so you can see the layout for each. The registered name and club name are yours to type.
