Anyone can claim a certificate. A UHELP certificate can be checked — by an employer, an agency, or a permitting body — without taking the holder's word for it.
Certificates are issued by the system the moment a path is genuinely completed — they are never self-reported or hand-entered.
Each certificate carries a unique verification code that resolves to a public record. No account, no login, no contacting the office.
The record reflects the live status — valid, expired, or revoked — so a certificate that has lapsed cannot be passed off as active.
Open a verification link and you see exactly what you need to trust it: who holds the credential, what it certifies, when it was issued, and whether it is valid right now. Nothing more, nothing that could be edited after the fact.
View your certificatesThe holder shares their verification link, or the code printed on the certificate.
The link resolves to a verification page — no account needed. A code can be entered directly.
Check the holder, the credential, and that the status reads valid. If it has been revoked or has expired, the record says so.
