基本要求
1.單據名稱。這種單據的名稱因所證明事項不同而略異，可能是寄單證明、寄樣證明（船樣、樣卡和碼樣等）、取樣證明、證明貨物產地、品質、嘜頭、包裝和標籤情況、電抄形式的裝運通知、證明產品生產過程、證明商品業已檢驗、環保人權方面的證明（非童工、非獄工製造）等。 2. 證明上通常會顯示發票號、合同號或信用證號以表明與其它單據的關係。 3. 證明的內容應嚴格與合同或信用證規定相符。 4. 因屬於證明性質，按有關規定證明人（受益人）必須簽字。 5.單據一般都應在規定的時間內做出。[2]
內容要求
1. 寄單證明（Beneficiary’s certificate for despatch of documents）。是最常見的一種，通常是受益人根據規定，在貨物裝運前後一定時期內，郵寄/傳真/快遞給規定的收受人全套或部分副本單據，並將證明隨其它單據交銀行議付。如CERTIFICATE FROM THE BENEFICIARY STATING THAT ONE COPY OF THE DOCUMENTS CALLED FOR UNDER THE LC HAS BEEN DISPATCHED BY COURIER SERVICE DIRECT TO THE APPLICANT WITHIN 3 DAYS AFTER SHIPMENT. 2. 寄樣證明（Beneficiary’s certificate for despatch of shipment sample）。例如：CERTIFICATE TO SHOW THAT THE REQUIRED SHIPMENT SAMPLES HAVE BEEN SENT BY DHL TO THE APPLICANT ON JULY 10， 2005（受益人只要按規定出單即可）。 3. 包裝和標籤證明。例1：某信用證要求：A CERTIFICATE FROM THE BENEFICIARY TO THE EFFECT THAT ONE SET OF INVOICE AND PACKING LIST HAS BEEN PLACED ON THE INNER SIDE OF THE DOOR OF EACH CONTAINER IN CASE OF FCL CARGO OR ATTACHED TO THE GOODS OR PACKAGES AT AN OBVIOUS PLACE IN CASE OF LCL CARGO，其意思是受益人應證明已把一套發票和箱單貼在集裝箱箱門內側（整箱貨）或拼箱貨的顯眼的地方；例2：BENEFICIARY CERTIFICATE IN TRIPLICATE STATING THE SHIPMENT DOES NOT INCLUDE NON-MANUFACTURED WOOD DUNNAGE，PALLETS，CRATING OR OTHER PACKAGING MATERIALS；THE SHIPMENT IS COMPLETELY FREE OF WOOD BARK，VISIBLE PESTS AND SIGNS OF LIVING PESTS（要求三份單據，證明貨物未再加工、非木製包裝、無樹皮、無肉眼可見蟲害、無活蟲） 4. 其它規定。如CERTIFICATE CONFIRMING THAT ALL GOODS ARE LABELLED IN ENGLISH（貨物加貼英文標籤）；BENEFICIARY』S CERTIFICATE STATING ORIGINAL B/L OF 1 SET CARRIED BY THE CAPTAIN OF THE VESSEL（一套正本提單已交由船長攜帶） ；A STATEMENT FROM THE BENEFICARY EVIDENCING THAT PACKING EFFECTED IN 25KGS CTN（貨物25公斤箱裝）； BENEFICIARY』S CERTIFICATE CONFIRMING THEIR ACCEPTANCE OF THE AMENDMENT DATED 10/09/2005 MADE UNDER THIS CREDIT Q QUOTING THE RELEVANT AMENDMENT NUMBER（確認改證內容）；CERTIFICATE TO SHOW GOODS ARE NOT OF ISRAELI ORIGIN AND DO NOT CONTAIN ANY ISRAELI MATERIAL（貨物須保證非以色列產並且不含以色列的材料）。
注意事項
1. 單據名稱應合適恰當。 2. 一般的行文規則是以所提要求為準直接照搬照抄，但有時也應做必要的修改。如信用證規定「BENEFICIARY』S CERTIFICATE EVIDENCING THAT TWO COPIES OF NON-NEGOTIABLE B/L WILL BE DESPATCHED TO APPLICANT WITHIN TWO DAYS AFTER SHIPMENT」，在具體製作單據時應將要求里的「WILL BE DESPATCHED」改為「HAVE BEEN DESPATCHED」；再比如對「BENEFICIARY』S CERTIFICATE STATING THAT CERTIFICATE OF MANUFACTURING PROCESS AND OF INGREDIENTS ISSUED BY ABC CO SHOULD BE SENT TO SUMITOMO CORP」的要求，「SHOULD BE SENT」最好改為「HAD/HAS BEEN SENT」 3. 證明文件通常以「THIS IS TO CERTIFY」（或DECLARE，STATE，EVIDENCE等）或「WE HEREBY CERTIFY」等開始。
