A possession certificate is a legal document that verifies an individual or entity's ownership or possession of a particular property, asset, or item. It serves as evidence of ownership and may be required for various purposes such as applying for loans, legal transactions, or obtaining certain benefits. The certificate typically includes details such as the name of the owner, description of the property or asset, date of possession, and any relevant terms or conditions. It helps establish the rightful owner's claim to the property or asset in question.
