Scan all your certificates and save them on your email, phones, gadgets, whatever.

If you laminate, the security features can't be accessed again. Watermarks can't be read, thickness can't be verified, the seal flattens.

Even in the process of laminating, anything could go wrong and destroy your original certificate or render it invalid due to alterations.

I don't have any laminated certificate. And all my certificates are as good as new.

hmmm...okay

I think it not reasonable so the best thing to do is file your certificate in a water proof file and also keep it very well
