ATOL certificates
A protected certificate, issued the moment a booking is paid.
Issue all three certificate types (Single Contract, Multi Contract and Flight Only) in moments, by interface or by API. Each is laid out in the CAA's ORS3 format, validated so no regulated field is ever truncated, and delivered to the consumer by email or downloaded for your own records.

The reconciliation loop
Beat 1 of 4
Stamped by the system, not the sender
Every certificate carries your organisation, your ATOL number, and an issue time set by the server, never supplied by the person issuing it. A certificate cannot be backdated, which is what makes it stand up to scrutiny. For packages, the matching Confirmation document is produced alongside, so the consumer receives the full protected record in one step.

Issue time is set by the server. A certificate cannot be backdated.
Amend and cancel, with the history intact
Bookings change. Amend or cancel a certificate and the change is versioned: the before and after are both kept, with the reason recorded. Where an amendment falls inside the 72-hour window, the consumer is re-supplied automatically. Every version is held, so you can always show what was issued, and why it changed.

Questions
Straight answers.
Which certificate types are supported?
Single Contract, Multi Contract and Flight Only: the three ORS3 formats in use today. A Multi Contract itemises up to four booking lines (flight, accommodation, car hire, other), each with its own description, supplier reference and price.
Can a certificate be issued under the wrong ATOL number?
No. The organisation name and ATOL number printed on a certificate always come from your holder account, never from form input, so it cannot be issued under the wrong licence.
What happens when a booking changes after issue?
The certificate is versioned. The original as-issued passenger count and protected cost are kept untouched, the new values recorded alongside, with the reason and a full before/after history. A change more than 72 hours before travel re-supplies the consumer automatically; inside 72 hours it is recorded. Prior versions are always retained.
Is the certificate branded with our logo?
No. The CAA prescribes the format: a plain yellow document with no operator branding, on the certificate or its delivery email. Regulated fields are validated on input, so nothing is ever silently truncated.
Is APC shown on the certificate?
Never. The ATOL Protection Contribution is internal liability, tracked in your returns. It appears on neither the certificate nor the package Confirmation.
