Proof should be checkable.
Verification lets credential holders, companies, employers, clients, and partners confirm that a certification is active — and exactly what it covers. The record, not the marketing, is the claim.
What the public record shows — and never shows.
A verification record is deliberately complete and deliberately bounded. Everything needed to check a claim is public; everything gathered in confidence stays private.

A stale claim is a weak one.
Certifications expire every twelve months. The record shows the current state, so a claim from three years ago cannot ride on a logo. And certain claims are never permitted, whatever the status:
If the claim and the record disagree, tell us.
Reporting protects certified companies as much as buyers — the signal only has value while misuse has consequences.
Report a verification issueVerification, briefly.
Who can check a record?
Anyone. Verification is public — no login, no fee, no exceptions.
What do I need to check one?
The credential code from the company’s claim — twelve characters, four groups of three.
What does “under review” mean?
Evidence connected to the certification is being re-examined. The status is shown openly until resolved.
Does a certified company mean every employee is certified?
No. The record states the exact scope — a site, function, segment, or the whole organization. The claim may not exceed it.
What happens when a certification expires?
The record shows the expiry. Certification language may no longer be used until the certification is renewed.
Check the record before relying on the claim.
If a capability claim matters to your decision, it is checkable — that is the point of the system.
