The short answer
Scan the QR code or open the holder's verification link. Or go to Verification and enter the certificate number with the holder's full name. The page shows the name, course, date and status.
What do you have?
What did the holder give you?
The QR code or a link
Scan or open it. The record opens.
Only the certificate number
Enter it with the holder's full name.
Nothing but a name
Use By Name & Course.
Every certificate has its own certificate ID, shown at the top right, and a QR code. There are three ways to check one.
- Scan the QR code, or open the verification link the holder sent you. The link carries a key (it ends in `?k=` and some letters), so the record opens straight away.
- Go to Certificate Verification, stay on By Registration Number, enter the number in Registration Number and the holder's full name as printed, then choose Verify Certificate.
- If you have no number, choose By Name & Course, enter the full name as printed and pick the course.
The page shows the holder's name, the course, the issue date and the status: Verified, Expired or Not Valid (withdrawn).
The name is asked for so that a number on its own cannot be used to walk through our records. If a link loses its key when it is copied, the page asks for the holder's name instead.
If a certificate you hold will not verify, see How do I reach a person?.
