It depends on how you mean it to be said.
If it is in a present tense, then you would say "The district hereby issues the letter of certification to him as evidence." because it uses the present tense to say what is happening right now.
If, on the other hand, you mean it to have just happened, you say "The district has hereby issued the letter of certification to him as evidence." because that past tense states that it is a fact without specifying when it happened.
So the difference is all in when you intend the issuing of the letter to have happened
