How a printed certificate is verified

A paper certificate on its own is easy to copy and slow to check: an employer has to contact the issuer and wait. Certificates printed from BCdiploma carry a QR code that opens the original digital record, secured on the blockchain. The PDF files can't be edited, and any altered printout no longer matches its record, so the change shows.

1

Print with a QR code

Each copy carries its own QR code.

2

Scan it

The employer scans the code with a phone.

3

Check the record

Issuer, holder and date, secured on the blockchain.

Someone edited the printout? It shows.

The QR code opens the original record, so an altered copy no longer matches it.

No account needed.
No email to the issuer.
