This article gives an overview of the different ways to add a verification QR Code to a document in IVQA.

Introduction#

Every document issued with IVQA gets a unique QR Code and a public ID (for example IVQA-DOC-2026-EXAMPLE1). Scanning the QR Code opens the document's verification page on check.ivqa.org. There are three ways to create such a document.

A. Generate from a template#

  • Log in to your dashboard

  • Go to Student documents (institutions) or Employee documents (companies)

  • Select the person and pick a template

  • Adjust the text and click Save

IVQA generates the PDF with the QR Code already in place. See Generate a Student Document or Create an Employee Document.

B. Upload your own file#

  • Go to Student documents, Diplom and Certificate, Employee documents, Institution Documents or Company Documents

  • Upload the PDF, JPG or PNG

  • Drag the QR Code where you want it and click Save

IVQA saves a new PDF with the QR Code. See Upload a Certificate or Diploma.

C. Use the Google Workspace or Microsoft Office add-on#

  • Open the IVQA add-on inside Google Docs, Sheets or Slides, or inside Word, Excel or PowerPoint

  • Sign in with your IVQA account

  • Select the person and the document type, then click Generate

The add-on inserts the document content and its QR Code into your file. See Google Workspace and Microsoft Office.

Note: Whatever the method, each generated document is a new document with its own QR Code. Generating twice creates two documents.
