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.

Active status confirmedScope shownRenewal or expiry dateClaim boundaries
01Scope is always visible

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.

The record shows
Legal and operating name of the certified organization
Certification type and exact certified scope
Issue, renewal, and expiry dates
Current status — active, expired, under review, revoked
Credential code and permitted claim language
The record never shows
Private employee data or individual records, unless authorised
Confidential leadership feedback or raw comments
Proprietary reports, raw results, or internal benchmarking
A procurement team checking a supplier’s certification record
02Why annual status matters

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:

Guaranteed financial performance or productivity
Guaranteed hiring success
Superiority over named competitors
“All employees certified” unless that is the evidenced scope
Substitution for licensure, regulation, or legal due diligence
03Report an issue

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 issue
01A claimed certification cannot be verified
02An expired certification is marketed as active
03The claim covers a broader scope than the record
04The approved claim language has been altered
05The record itself appears inaccurate
04Common questions

Verification, 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.

05Ask for proof

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.
