Just to be clear here, I think the certificate is 100% fake, it has to be, but it's a fake document, made officially, because why wouldn't they? why resort to image editing?

It would be like if someone took over a Coca Cola factory, but then would get a bottle of Pepsi, doctor the original label to say "Coca Cola" and try to sell it as such... Just make a freaking bottle of Coca Cola...

I just tried to provide a reason why the document available has the layers in it

Though it seems it has been like this for over a decade? so IDK about that anymore, not sure if OCR was as advanced as it would have to be to separate things so cleanly

-----------------------------OP after this line-----------------------------

Honestly it seems to me more likely that this document was just scanned with OCR on, by mistake or not who knows, but it will separate anything into layers.

You think with the resources these people have they'd have resorted to image manipulation? They can easily have the actual thing made, officially

But if this at least leads people to look into it it's good I guess

I just think it'll be a very easy thing to be discredited.
