The public verification page is the page a verifier lands on after scanning a QR code or entering a code on check.ivqa.org. It is designed for people who know nothing about IVQA: no account, no technical knowledge, one verdict.

  1. Scan QR
  2. Open verification page
  3. Read credential / document information
  4. Check verification status

The status banner#

The top of the page shows the verdict in large letters with a colour:

  • green VALID — This credential is recognised and currently valid in IVQA's official registry.
  • red REVOKED — This credential has been revoked — [reason].
  • red EXPIRED — with the end date.
  • amber NOT YET VALID — with the effective date.
  • NOT FOUND — no published credential matches the code.

The details (valid documents)#

Below the banner, a valid document shows:

FieldContent
Document typeFor example School Attendance Certificate, Academic Transcript, Certificate, Diploma
Institution / CompanyThe issuing organization
Student / EmployeeThe holder's name, as recorded at issuance
Student UID / Employee UIDThe holder's IVQA identifier
Public IDThe credential's public ID
StatusThe same verdict as the banner
IssuedThe issue date
Program / Track and LevelFor students, the program and the qualification level and year recorded at issuance
SHA-256 file fingerprintFor uploaded files with a recorded fingerprint

Two optional marks can appear under the banner: Signed QR: OK (the scanned link carried a correct IVQA signature) and File integrity verified.

The page header also shows the verification date and the reference that was checked.

Revoked, expired and not found#

  • A revoked document shows only the revoked banner and the reason given by the organization. The holder's details are not displayed.
  • An expired or not yet valid document shows the banner and the relevant date.
  • A not found code shows no details at all. Draft and unpublished documents answer exactly like unknown codes.

A person's own page#

Scanning the QR code of a student or employee (rather than of a document) opens their verification page: name, UID, institution or company, program or department, and their registry status (validated, pending or revoked), with the date of the last update.

What is never shown#

Email addresses, phone numbers, national identification numbers, dates of birth and other personal fields never appear on public pages, even when they were recorded in the dashboard.
