Certificates

Verify a certificate

Tell us which organisation issued the certificate and send a short request. A member of the certificate team checks the record and replies to you.

How it works

What happens when you ask

Step 1: Send the request
Give the certificate number and the holder's name as printed. If you scanned a QR code, the link you followed is still recognised.
Step 2: We check the record
The team for the issuing organisation checks the original register, including older records that were never searchable online.
Step 3: We reply to you
You receive a confirmation that the certificate is verified, or an explanation and what we need to resolve it.
