How are you notifying students to check their marks?  If you're giving
out official written notices from the school, you might include a
comment that they need to allow the certificate, and the school endorses
it.  If electronically, you'd need some way to give a notice that people
could trust.

The easiest solution would be to use another certificate that was
already accepted by the browsers.  Though that might be prohibitively
expensive.
