Vidimus

As Vidimus ( lat. : We have seen ) is defined as the certified copy of a certificate. In contrast to the transsump , the issuer of the certification only attests to the identity of the original with the copy. The vidimator emphasizes the flawless quality of the transferred document: no shaves , no corrections, the presence of a seal is mentioned. Sometimes this can also be described in more detail.
