How we verify your ID
We verify student IDs by comparing them with official samples of the same document type, such as driver’s licenses, residence permits, or passports, to make sure the format and details are consistent.
What we check on your ID
We verify the following details:
• First name must match exactly
• Last name must match exactly
• The ID must be valid and not expired
Some residence permits do not include an expiration date. In those cases, the validity check may be skipped.
Name usage on certificates
• If your ID shows your full first name, the same name must be used on the certificate. Shortened or nickname versions are not allowed.
• Minor spelling differences caused by language transliteration are acceptable.
• Some passports do not separate first and last names. As long as your requested name matches the ID in any order, the certificate can be issued.
• In certain countries, first and last names may appear in different orders. This is acceptable as long as the name matches the ID.
Non English IDs
If your ID is not in English, we verify it by matching the name with its English transliteration. A close match is sufficient.
Additional verification
We may perform an additional public profile check, such as LinkedIn or a web search, to confirm the information.
Data privacy
After verification is completed, your ID is permanently deleted from our system.
Certificate issuance
Once verification is complete, your certificate is issued. This process is typically completed 48 Hours after you upload your ID. You will receive a confirmation email once your certificate has been generated.
