When using the Online Verification Form, you will be asked to provide your own details, the verification request cannot be completed without this information.

You will also be required to enter the certificate holder details:

• Learner Name
  (As seen on the certificate)
• Certificate Master Log Number
  (This can be found on either the front or back of the certificate, depending on issue date)
• Date of achievement
  (This is the issue date printed on the certificate)

If all the details match, a verification authorisation request will be sent to the certificate holder for confirmation that the verification request is genuine. The email they receive will contain the option to either ‘Approve’ or ‘Deny’ the request.

Once the certificate holder ‘Approves’ the request, an email will then be sent to the requesters email address, and this will confirm that the certificate is genuine.

If the certificate holder ‘Denies’ this or does not respond, the verification will be unsuccessful and the person who requested it will be informed that it has either been rejected or the request has expired.

If a verification authorisation request is not responded to in two days, it will expire.  

Please note:
If the certificate was issued before February 2007 and does not contain a QR code, you will need to submit the manual verification request form
