uncertificated
Without official papers
Uncertificated describes something lacking formal certification or documentation.
An uncertificated teacher hasn't completed required credentialing.
In finance, uncertificated securities exist as electronic records rather than physical stock certificates: Most shares today are held in uncertificated form.
The word appears mainly in legal and regulatory contexts.
