The Certificate of Rehabilitation is a court document that officially recognizes that a person with a prior criminal conviction has lived an honest and law-abiding life for a set period of time, which can help reduce the stigma of their conviction. Someone who has completed their sentence, stayed out of trouble, and wants official proof of their rehabilitation to help with employment, housing, or other opportunities would need this certificate.
