How must a certificate read to be valid?

Subscribed on
Subscribed & sworn to before me by
Approved by
Confirmed on

The correct answer is: Subscribed & sworn to before me by

A certificate must read "subscribed & sworn to before me by" to be valid because it indicates that the individual has personally attested to the truth and accuracy of the information in the certificate. The other options are incorrect because - Option A, "subscribed on," does not indicate that the individual has sworn to the accuracy of the information. - Option C, "approved by," does not indicate that the individual is attesting to the truth of the information. - Option D, "confirmed on," does not specify who is confirming the information, and it does not indicate that the individual has sworn to the accuracy of the information.
