Immediately i got my first degree certificate yesterday, the first thing that came to my mind was how to keep it safely. So, I researched (carried out among the people I know), and my findings show that some people usually laminate their certificates in order to shield them from liquid substances, rough handling, or factors that can reduce their longetivity.
As safe as this practice seems to be however some others have condemned it, saying you maybe rejected at d embassy since the authenticity of the certificate maybe difficult to verify ( i.e. if you really need it abroad) and if you attempt to remove it, the certificate may get torn.

Again, my question is: how do you keep your certificate safely?

Comments from experienced people and practical suggestions are welcomed.

Thank you!
