Certificates are only as trusted as their authenticity, so a QR code that links to a verification page lets an employer or institution confirm the award is real, who earned it and when. Place the code discreetly near the seal or footer, keep the link stable for years, and make sure it scans cleanly off quality paper.
On certificates, keep the code static, high contrast and linked to a stable destination. It will keep scanning without expiry and without scan tracking from us.
Why it works
Instant verification
A scan opens a page confirming the certificate is genuine, so no one has to phone or email to check.
Harder to forge
A code tied to your records makes a copied or faked certificate easy to expose.
Shows the full details
The linked page can list the holder, course, date and issuer that the print may not have room for.
Adds a professional finish
A neat verification code signals that your certificates are official and well managed.

Common questions
Will this QR code expire?
No. The static QR code you create here does not expire. It keeps working as long as the website, file, contact details or other destination still exists.
Do you track scans on this QR code?
No. We create privacy-first static QR codes and do not track scans. For campaign reporting, use your own analytics on the destination page.
