Certificate of Performance Typing Service for Contract Completion

What a Certificate of Performance Typically Contains

A Certificate of Performance is a formal close‑out document issued after a supplier completes a contract. It confirms that the goods or services, such as AAC conductors, overhead bare conductors, or other electrical equipment, have been supplied, installed, and perform to specification. Typical fields include the supplier’s name and address, purchase order number, a detailed description of the goods supplied, quantity, contract value, and a performance statement (for example, “supplied and commissioned satisfactorily”). The document is signed by an authorised officer of the issuing authority, often a utility like Kenya Power (KPLC) or a contracting agency.

Why You Might Need to Type a Certificate of Performance

Many organisations require a clean, digital version of the certificate for record‑keeping and submissions. Common reasons include:

• Including the certificate in a tender or bid for future projects
• Providing contract completion evidence to auditors or project managers
• Updating procurement files for internal or regulatory compliance
• Attaching to an invoice for final payment release
• Submitting as part of a project close‑out report

Having a typed, searchable copy saves time and reduces the risk of misplacing the original paper document.

AI Typing vs. Manual Retyping: Which to Choose

When you need a digital version of a Certificate of Performance, you have two main options: retype it by hand in a word processor, or use an AI‑powered typing service. Manual retyping can take hours and is prone to typographical errors, especially with long purchase order numbers, technical descriptions, or unfamiliar terms. AI typing, like the one offered by Lekhak, converts your PDF or image into an editable DOCX in minutes. It extracts the text accurately while preserving the logical reading order. For most routine submissions, tender packs, internal audits, or project files, an AI‑typed copy is perfectly adequate. If you need to keep the original’s signatures or exact layout, you can still use the typed version as a searchable companion.

What Lekhak’s AI Typing Service Delivers

Lekhak’s self‑serve typing platform produces a DOCX file that contains all the text content from your uploaded document. It faithfully reproduces the wording, numbers, and structure of the original Certificate of Performance. What it does not replicate are elements such as hand‑written signatures, official stamps, watermarks, or the exact visual layout. The output is a clean, editable, and searchable digital version. This makes it easy to copy text into other documents, search for purchase order numbers or product specifications, and share with colleagues. The entire process, upload to download, takes only minutes, regardless of the document’s length.

When You Might Need a Notarised or Attested Copy

For formal legal proceedings, foreign government submissions, or certain high‑value tenders, a typed copy alone may not be sufficient. Notarisation, apostille, or embassy attestation authenticate the document for official use. These are separate processes arranged with a notary public and the relevant government authority (for example, the Hague Apostille Convention for international recognition). If the certificate later needs to be translated for a foreign submission, Lekhak offers certified translation on‑demand. Note that Lekhak does not itself provide notarisation, apostille, or embassy attestation, those are arranged by the document holder.

How to Obtain a Duplicate of the Original Certificate

If your original Certificate of Performance is lost, damaged, or illegible, contact the issuing authority directly. For example, if the certificate was issued by Kenya Power (KPLC) under a specific purchase order, you can request a re‑issued or duplicate certificate from their procurement or contract management department. Be prepared to provide the purchase order number, contract reference, and relevant project details. Once you have a clean copy, even a scan or photo, you can upload it to Lekhak for instant typing.

Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly is a Certificate of Performance?

A Certificate of Performance is a formal document issued after contract completion that confirms the supplier has delivered goods or services meeting the agreed specifications.

Is a typed PDF or DOCX legally valid?

A typed copy is a convenience transcript, not an original. For official purposes, the original signed document or a certified copy is required. A typed version is useful for internal records and preliminary submissions.

Can I type the certificate myself?

Yes, but manual typing takes time and may introduce errors. AI typing is faster and more accurate for most certificates, especially those with technical terms, numbers, or long purchase order references.

How accurate is Lekhak’s AI typing?

Our AI extracts text with high accuracy, preserving the original wording, numbers, and structure. It is best suited for typed or printed documents; handwritten content may be less reliable.

What does the typed output include?

You receive a DOCX file containing all text content from the original document. Signatures, stamps, watermarks, and exact layout are not reproduced.

Will the typed copy match the original’s format?

The output is a plain, editable document, not a replica of the original’s visual design. Fonts, margins, and spacing may differ. Text order and content are preserved.

How quickly can I get the typed document?

Lekhak’s AI typing processes files in minutes. After uploading, you can download the DOCX almost immediately, no waiting for human turnaround.

What if the certificate is in a language other than English?

Lekhak supports over 125 languages. If the certificate is in another language, the AI will type it in the original script. Translation is a separate service; Lekhak offers certified translation on‑demand.

Does Lekhak offer translation as well?

Yes. In addition to typing, Lekhak provides AI‑powered translation for over 70 global languages. For official submissions, certified translation is available on‑demand.

How do I get a notarised or attested copy?

Notarisation, apostille, and embassy attestation are separate government acts. You arrange these with a notary public and the appropriate ministry, Lekhak does not perform these steps itself.
