Type the certificate code printed under the QR code, or paste the certificate’s link. You’ll see who issued it, to whom, when, and whether it’s still valid.
Codes have 8 letters and numbers, like 8F2K19QA.
Holding the paper copy? Point your phone’s camera at the QR code. It opens the certificate’s story page straight away, with no app to install.
Scanning a QR code or entering a code costs nothing, on every plan, and you don’t need an account. The person checking is never asked to sign up.
If an issuer has revoked a certificate, you’ll see a red warning instead, never a tick.
Whether you type a code, paste a link or scan the QR code, Certale runs the same checks before it shows a tick.
Every certificate is signed by the organisation that issued it. The result names that issuer, and nobody else can issue in their name.
We compare the name, award, date and code with the signed original. If anything was edited, even one letter, the check fails.
Issuers can withdraw a certificate at any time. A revoked certificate shows a red warning, never a tick, wherever it’s opened.
Yes. Anyone can check any Certale certificate, without an account.
Yes. Scan its QR code with your phone camera, or type the code printed beside it.
Trust the result. It shows exactly what the issuer signed. If the paper says something different, it was changed after issue, so please report it.
No. Only certificates issued with Certale can be checked here. For anything else, contact the issuer.
No one is told who checked. Opening the page adds one to the certificate’s view count, which the issuer can see in their Certale analytics, but we don’t record who you are.
Every Certale certificate comes with its own QR code and certificate code, so employers and admissions teams can trust it on sight.
