An application for a character certificate is written to obtain an official statement of a student’s good conduct.

How to write it

• This is an individual request, so write it in the first person with "I" and "my".
• Address it to the Headmaster and use a subject line clearly asking for a character certificate.
• State that you have passed your examination from the school and now need an official statement of your good conduct.
• Explain briefly why you need it — for example, to seek admission to a college or to apply elsewhere — as this shows a genuine purpose.
• Close politely, requesting the certificate at his earliest convenience, and sign with your name, class and roll number.

Government High School, Dhaka

Subject: Application for a character certificate.

Sir

With due respect, I beg to state that I have recently passed the S.S.C. Examination from your school under Roll No. 105678, and I now wish to seek admission to a college for higher studies.

For this purpose I need an official character certificate from you stating my conduct and moral character during the years I studied here. During my time in this school I always tried to obey the rules, respect my teachers and behave well with everyone.

A certificate of good conduct from you will help me greatly in gaining admission and will remain a valuable testimony of my school days.

I, therefore, pray and hope that you would be kind enough to grant me a character certificate at your earliest convenience, and thus oblige.

I remain,

Sir,

Your obedient student,

Nafisa Akter

Class X, Roll No. 15
