What is a digitally certified Self-Query response?
A certified Self-Query response is a PDF that ensures the Self-Query is exactly as it was issued by the NPDB. Certified PDFs viewed with Adobe Acrobat Reader display a certification that the file has not been altered after it was created. If any content has been altered, an error message will appear. Printed copies of Self-Query responses are not certified and will not display this certification.
