certifying
Formally declaring authentic
Certifying is attesting officially that something meets a standard or that a statement is true.
A board certifies professionals as qualified: the certifying body for accountants.
Documents get certified as authentic copies.
A certifying authority vouches for credentials, safety standards, or compliance: the certifying agency approved the facility.
