The certificate addressed students as Mr. or Ms. and the father as Mr., which reads inconsistently beside the rest of the document where names and headings are set in capitals. Both forms are now MR. and MS., for either gender and in every place they appear -- the student's name in both sentences and the father's name in the parentage line. D/o and S/o and the pronoun are left as they are; they are not salutations.

The bonafide certificate addressed the student as

MR.andMS., for either gender and in every place a salutation appears:This is to certify that …This certificate is being issued to …D/o/S/oand thehis/herpronoun are unchanged — they are not salutations and are conventionally mixed case. AnyMr./Shri/Srialready stored on the father's name is still stripped beforeMR.is prepended, so a storedMr. …does not render asMR. Mr. ….Verified by rendering the certificate for a real student of each gender and reading the text back out of the PDF:
MS.x2 (both sentences) +MR.x1 (father)D/oMR.x3 (student twice, father once)S/oNo mixed-case
Mr.orMs.remains in either. The three affected assertions intest_bonafide_certificate.pyare updated to match; note the backend test database cannot be built in this checkout — aRunSQLstep in the migration history referencescourse_registrationbefore it is created, which is pre-existing — so the PDF render above is the verification.manage.py checkclean, no migrations.
