Check whether a certificate is genuine

Enter the code printed on the certificate. It is free and needs no account.

With or without hyphens, upper or lower case — it all works.

No code to hand? Try one of these examples:

A CV accepts anything. So does a certificate. Until now.

Millions of certificates are issued every day and almost none of them can be checked. VerID4U gives every certificate a unique code and a public verification page — so issuers can prove they are serious, and employers can stop taking a PDF on trust.

How it works

  1. 1

    Register or issue

    Carry on issuing your own way and register only the proof here — or issue through VerID4U, with the seal and QR code built in.

  2. 2

    The certificate gets a code and a QR

    Every certificate receives a unique 12-character code and a QR code pointing at its verification page.

  3. 3

    Anyone can check it

    In 10 seconds, with no account and no cost: who issued it, what was completed, whether it is still valid.

Two routes, depending on where you stand

I already issue my certificates

Keep your system and your template. You register the issued certificate here — including old ones, in bulk — and it becomes verifiable. Nothing changes in your process.

I want to issue through VerID4U

No system of your own? Issue here: the certificate comes out with your branding, the code, the QR and the verification strip.

Who it is for

  • Health and safety training

    Track validity and refreshers, with evidence ready for an inspection.

  • Training providers

    Bulk issuing under your own brand, without spreadsheets.

  • Universities

    Short courses, conferences and standalone modules.

  • HR and compliance

    Check the training people claim, and see what is about to lapse.

  • Online courses and events

    A certificate learners are proud to post on LinkedIn.

The hard questions

Does this carry legal weight?

The register proves authorship, integrity and date: it shows that the certificate existed on that date and has not been altered. Full legal standing for a document comes from a qualified electronic signature under UK eIDAS, which we offer as a separate module. We would rather say this plainly than promise more than we deliver.

What if VerID4U goes away?

Every registered certificate stays verifiable. You can export everything at any time in an open standard (Open Badges 3.0) and, if the business ever winds down, the verification index stays published. A register that can disappear is not a register.

Does my data become public?

No. The verification page never shows an ID number, email address or phone number, and the name appears partially by default — the holder decides. Verification pages are not indexed by search engines either.
