# Digital Certificate and eSeal - Sample Output File

In order to **download a sample file** to send to your SOS, use the Session Simulator feature:   
[https://app.bluenotary.us/pdf_edit/sessions/simulator](https://app.bluenotary.us/pdf_edit/sessions/simulator)

This guide walks you through managing your eSeal, creating a sample document, applying signatures, and completing a session using the Session Simulator.

You will need to add your **signature** and **eseal** to the document.  The **Digital Certificate will be automatically encrypted** within the document upon completion.

| Certain states will require a specific Exemplar Document/SoS Document (New York, Nevada, Kentucky, Illinois, Maine, Montana). [Click here for more detailed information](/en/article/how-to-create-your-new-yorknevadakentucky-exemplar-document-montana-sos-document-eqm9lj/).
