Above the front of the certificate issuing port 7, the discharge conveyance path is indicated by a chain double-dashed line in FIG. As shown, an auxiliary issue port 103 is provided. Therefore, when issuing the certificate stored in the storage chute, the storage unit 80 is raised to face the target storage chute to the entrance portion of the auxiliary chute 100, and then the certificate is moved to the upper left as described above. It is raised and guided into the chute 100, and is guided as it is through the discharge conveyance path to issue from the auxiliary issue port 103. When issued in this way,
The existing transport unit 51 and discharge unit 53 described above
Issuing time is much shorter than issuing through, and there is no risk of damaging the certificate.
