You are preparing, completing and filing your tax return using self-prepared tax preparation software. There is no certification stamp nor a signature on the tax return if you choose to electronically file the tax return. Your tax return is verified for electronic filing when you enter your prior year AGI from the 2022 federal tax return, Line 11.
If you efiled, In the PDF of your TurboTax return, the last page of the federal return should be an "electronic postmark" that shows your name, Social Security number, the date and time that you e-filed the return, and the date that the IRS accepted it.
By the way, Are you doing a USA or Canada tax return?
It's an USA tax return, it's my first time doing my own taxes and I wasn't sure if doing via here would provide me with a "Department of Revenue certification stamp and signature" which is what I need on my tax return for personal purposes.
@Anonymous The way I am reading your request indicates that you need a certified copy of a State Tax return since a Department of Revenue would indicate a state department. The federal tax return is processed by the IRS and for the federal government there is not a Department of Revenue, just the Internal Revenue Service or the US Treasury.
Since you have never filed a tax return the only way to get a certified copy of the return is to file your current tax return, have the state accept and process the tax return and then you would have to request a certified copy once the state has finished processing your tax return.
Who is or what is requesting a Department of Revenue stamp and signature on your tax return?

Where did you see a reference to a "Department of Revenue certification stamp and signature"? There is no such thing for a federal tax return, and there is no federal Department of Revenue. Many states have a Department of Revenue. Are you asking about a state tax return? If so, what state?
Yes, a state tax return for Colorado, the Colorado DMV requests a "Proof of Colorado income tax return" where the "Document must contain a Department of Revenue certification stamp and signature." ss I am still in the process of getting a SS and have just moved to Colorado.
