    The Corporate Certificate is a formal document certifying the authority of an individual to sign lease agreements on behalf of a corporation. The certifying official must ensure that the individual who signed the lease was duly authorized by the corporation's governing body. This document is specifically utilized under the authority of 40 USCA Section 49(h)(1) by the General Services Administration (GSA) for verifying property ownership and the authority of signatories in leasing transactions. Although the information is voluntarily provided, refusal to disclose could prevent the leasing action from proceeding. Importantly, the certificate must be completed by someone other than the individual who signed the lease, ensuring separation of duties for accountability within the leasing process.
