This information was supplied by Teddy Noye
I have provided a translated copy below the actual certificate. It is rather difficult to read the original, so to find out what the document says, scroll down a little farther than the certificate.

This may be slow to load, please be patient, it's worth the wait. You may want to use a magnifying glass with this as it's rather choppy.
