They are essentially synonyms, I honestly can't think of an example where only one of them works. However, using "obtain" would be more formal. Also, saying "got one's hands on" can sometimes have a negative connotation, and sound like the person may have stolen instead of earned. Although, it's all very situational. Another common phrase for this is "to get". You can't really go wrong with any of them though.
She obtained the certificate. [best option, makes it sound like she earned it]
She got the certificate. [Second best option, works just as well as "obtain"]
She got her hands on the certificate. [Still works and makes sense, but it sounds like she may have stolen it]
Hopefully this wasn't too confusing.

@fukutaka No problem! Let me know if you have any questions. I personally would use the verb "to get" in most situations, especially if you aren't sure which one to use.
