How to Laminate a KRA PIN Certifiate

Having managed to apply for and obtain a KRA PIN certificate, it would be a good idea to laminate it. Laminating the KRA PIN certificate makes it more durable. It also make the KRA PIN certificate look like the important document it is. Furthermore, a laminated KRA PIN is less vulnerable to the elements. Even if moisture seeps into the box (or whatever other space) you are keeping the KRA PIN certificate, you can be sure that it won’t get messed up with, if it is laminated.

Now there are 4 simple steps you need to follow, while trying to laminate a KRA PIN certificate.

The first step is to put the laminating machine on, and wait for it to warm up to the required temperature. So this is just a question of plugging the laminating machine to the power socket, then flicking its switch to turn it on. As it warms up, you can be going through the other steps below.

The second step is to photocopy the original KRA PIN certificate. This way, you would have the photocopy to fall back on, in case the document gets messed up in the course of lamination. It is good practice to always photocopy documents before laminating them.

The third step is to trim the KRA PIN into just the right size, in readiness for lamination. You have to understand that laminating paper costs money. You therefore should avoid wasting it, by seeing to it that you trim documents to just the right sizes, before laminating them.

The fourth step is to put the trimmed KRA PIN certificate into the laminating paper film. So the idea is to ensure that the KRA PIN is placed in between the two laminating paper films.

The fourth steps is to put the KRA PIN certificate (which is now ensconced within the laminating paper film leaves) into the laminating machine. By the time the KRA PIN emerges on the other side of the laminating machine, it will have been laminated: thereby improving its aesthetic appeal as well as its durability.
