Should my update letter include proof of publication?

I had mentioned my manuscript was in review within my primary app and in my interviews. I was lucky enough to find out that this was accepted for publication. Do you think it is sufficient to just state that in an update letter? Or should I also include proof (a screenshot of the email from the publisher stating it was accepted, or something?) as evidence? Thank you.

No proof required, can just state the title and journal.

No need to send in the proof, just keep the email handy until your publication can be found online.

I agree with others. This would be easily verifiable down the road. It would be pretty dumb to lie about something like this.

Ok, good to hear a consensus. Thank you all!

Congratulations on having your manuscript accepted for publication! A screenshot or actual proof would not be necessary but do include as much information as you can in your letter. The email of the publisher probably mentioned the date in which it will be published, the issue number, page numbers, or any other relevant information, so it is good to be as specific as possible when providing your update. After all, update letters should include trackable progress, so being as clear as possible is always good.
