Morphology
The meaning is directly and transparently derived from combining 'partnership' (a business arrangement) with 'certificate' (an official document): it denotes an official document relating to a partnership's ownership or interests. This noun+noun compounding is a regular, cross-linguistic compositional pattern in English, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents should be able to infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
Partnership certificate: The compound partnership certificate comes from the plain idea of giving a paper certificate that names each person's partnership 'share' in a business. That's why today partnership certificate means the official paper that shows or 'proves' who owns what in the company.
