State Alchemist Certification

The State Alchemist Certification is a document that is awarded to all State Alchemists upon completing their examination. With each document, the Alchemist is awarded a code name, such as "Fullmetal", "The Strongarm", "The Flame", "The Crimson" and so on.

The document as shown in Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood reads as follows:

This official document certifies that the nation of Amestris, prefecture of the Generalissimo appoints the name *CODE NAME HERE* to *ALCHEMIST NAME HERE* in the name of Fuhrer King Bradley.

The State Alchemist shall follow all orders and policies of the military.

''A research assesment examination shall be held once every year. In the case that the State Alchemist does not show signs of progress as a result of the examination, he shall be discharged from the services of State Alchemist.''

The State Alchemist is entitiled to the use of ample research funds, unrestricted access to classified documentation, access to various governmental facilities, and a military rank equal to that of "Major".

-- King Bradley
