# Print or save a certificate

Learn how to print or save a certificate using the DownloadCertificateImage endpoint.

**Element type:** Required

**Endpoints/Models used:** [DownloadCertificateImage](https://developer.avalara.com/api-reference/avatax/rest/v2/methods/Certificates/DownloadCertificateImage/)

Your integration must provide an option to print and/or save a certificate on a local system. This should be part of the certificate response to the [DownloadCertificateImage](https://developer.avalara.com/api-reference/avatax/rest/v2/methods/Certificates/DownloadCertificateImage/) request.

Include a link to a URL in the certificate response to view the certificate, and then from there, users can print and/or save the certificate.

**Example**

```
curl
  -X POST
  -H 'Accept: application/json'
  -H 'Authorization: Basic ${btoa(`:`)}'
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json'
  'https://sandbox-rest.avatax.com/api/v2/companies/{companyId}/certificates/{id}/attachment'
