Document & Credential Verification
How a QR code on an IVQA document leads to a public verification page, what a verifier sees, which statuses exist and what to do when a verification does not behave as expected.
How it works

Verification statuses
Verification StatusEvery status a public verification can show — VALID, EXPIRED, NOT YET VALID, REVOKED, NOT FOUND — what causes it and how it is computed.Valid CredentialWhat the VALID status means, what the verification page shows for a valid document, and what keeps a credential valid over time.Expired CredentialHow IVQA decides that a credential is expired, what the verification page shows, and what you can do about an expired document.Revoked CredentialWhat REVOKED means on the public verification page, how a credential gets revoked, what verifiers see, and how a revocation is reversed.Invalid or Not FoundWhy a verification answers NOT FOUND or INVALID, including the case of drafts and unpublished documents, and how to resolve it.
