About this template
If you need to honour years of loyalty, this Farewell Certificate does it with a timeless layout that employers, HR teams and colleagues will recognise straight away. On CerShare it comes in the Berry & Sand colour scheme, with a ticket-stub edge as the centrepiece; the lettering pairs Yeseva One with Mulish. It works just as well as a certificate of appreciation or a certificate of achievement.

How to customise it
Click any line to change it: the recipient’s name, the wording, the date, from, with us and next stop and the signatures. Colours are yours to change: try Kraft & Teal, or match your own brand colours. Fonts can be swapped too; the defaults are Yeseva One and Mulish. It works in landscape or portrait, on A4 or US Letter, without you having to move anything. You can also upload a logo or a photo and place it anywhere on the page.
Printing tips
A cream, linen-textured paper of around 120 lb text (180 gsm) suits this classic layout. Download the PDF at the paper size you will print on (A4 or US Letter) and set the printer to “Actual size” or 100%. Sign it in blue or black ink once it is printed for a personal touch.
