The present invention relates to a method and system for certifying the transmission of an electronic document that is being transmitted from a sender's electronic device to a recipient's electronic device wherein the electronic document contains at least a header portion containing addressing information and a body portion. A first identifier is determined that is representative of at least a portion of the body portion of the electronic document to be sent and a separate second identifier is determined that is representative of at least a portion of the body portion of the aforesaid electronic document. These identifiers are then stored and after the document is transmitted to a recipient, a third identifier is determined that is representative of at least a portion of the header portion of the electronic document received on the recipient's' electronic device and a fourth identifier is determined that is representative of at least a portion of the body portion of the electronic document received on the recipient's' electronic device. If the third and fourth identifiers are respectively the same as the first and second identifiers stored in the database then certification for the electronic document is provided.
