Create credential data
Use your current system and certificate format as usual.
-
02
Follow existing approval
Keep the review and approval procedures already in place.
-
03
Add a verification QR
Connect Verify and generate a unique QR for each credential.
-
04

WHAT VERIFY CHECKS
The QR is not the proof.
The trust behind the credential is.
The QR opens a process that compares the issuer and registered credential information, showing whether the document remains valid and unchanged.
Registered details
Do the presented details match the original record?
Document integrity
Has any information been changed since issuance?
Current validity
Is the credential currently valid, expired or revoked?
THREE-LAYER VERIFICATION
Authenticity exists only when
three layers agree.
Public, protected and immutable information are separated, then compared as one verification process.
QR code
Contains no personal data, only limited verification information and a secure entry point.
Encrypted credential data
Protected information is encrypted and stored separately from the QR.
Blockchain record
A record of the issued credential makes tampering or mismatches detectable.
Only when the QR, encrypted data and blockchain record agree is the credential confirmed as authentic.
COPY ≠ AUTHENTIC
A QR can be copied.
The registered fact cannot.
Placing a copied QR on a different document does not produce a valid credential. The destination reveals that the document and registered data do not match.
The document, registered information and record agree.
A mismatch exposes reuse or alteration.
PRIVACY BY SEPARATION
Separate what must be shown
from what must be protected.
Personal information is never stored directly in the QR. Protected data is separated, encrypted and compared only as required.
QR and verification ID
Carries only limited information required to begin verification.
Encrypted credential data
Names and other protected information are encrypted and managed separately.
Blockchain record
Integrity records make unauthorized changes detectable.
If a server is accessed without authorization, stored information is encrypted and is not readily readable as personal data. This design reduces risk but cannot eliminate every information-security risk.
FOR EDUCATION
Turn learning and qualifications
into trusted credentials.
The initial rollout in Japan focuses on educational institutions and credential issuers, reducing effort across issuance, ownership and review while improving trust.
Education and credential issuers
Add verification to existing credentials while reducing manual inquiries and misuse.
Learners and graduates
Continue presenting paper or PDF while allowing recipients to confirm authenticity.
Employers and reviewers
Check a credential without relying only on a direct inquiry to its issuer.
- Professional certificates
- Training completion
- Graduation certificates
- Academic transcripts
- Course completion
- Skill certifications
SYSTEM INTEGRATION
Add verification without
replacing your system.
Verify can connect with existing issuance systems and operational workflows through APIs and other suitable methods. Integration is designed around your current environment.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions.
01Must we discontinue our current paper certificates?
No. Verify can preserve paper and PDF formats and add a verification QR.
02Is personal information stored in the QR?
No personal information is stored directly in the QR. Limited data and a verification ID are compared with encrypted information stored separately.
03What happens if someone copies the QR?
The copied document will not match the registered information and will not be confirmed as authentic. Copying the QR alone does not reproduce the proof.
04Can Verify connect with our issuing system?
Yes. API and other integration approaches are available. We review the current system and recommend a suitable method.
05Which credentials can we begin with?
Professional certificates, course completion documents, graduation certificates and transcripts are all suitable. Institutions may begin with one type and expand later.
