Certificate verification

Verify an Elmaaref certificate in seconds

Enter the certificate number and verification code, or scan the QR code printed on it. The result comes from the Elmaaref registry, not from an image of the certificate.

Verify now
Or scan the QR code with your phone camera, and it opens the verification page directly with the number and code. The values above are examples of the layout only.
Verifying a university document? Find out which portal to use
Where do you verify?

Two verification portals, each institution with its own registry

Elmaaref offers professional programs and courses, and also works with American and international universities. So a university document has two ways to be verified: the university’s own registry, and the Elmaaref registry. Each route is independent of the other.

First portal
Elmaaref

Elmaaref portal

Elmaaref registry
Verify Elmaaref certificates and the documents of programs we coordinated with you.
Enter the certificate number and the eight-digit code, or scan the QR code printed on it.
The result comes from the Elmaaref registry right now, on this page and without an account.
Verify through Elmaaref
Second portal

University portal

The university’s own registry
Each university keeps a registry of its graduates and documents, which is its own reference.
The university’s verification link is on its own website, not on the Elmaaref website.
It does not replace the Elmaaref portal or stand in for it, and suits those who want double verification.
Choose your university
For bodies that want double verification: check both portals together.

Universities and each one’s portal

The same list is on the Universities page. A portal appears when it is activated, and we do not show a link that has not been announced yet.

Three steps, no calls or waiting

Scan the code or type the number
On a computer, click the code or the link in the PDF file; on a phone, scan the code with the camera.
Enter the code if asked
The 8-digit code protects the certificate. It is accepted with or without dashes, and in Arabic numerals.
Read the result from the registry
The status appears instantly from the Elmaaref registry, not from an image that may have been altered.

The page shows only what is needed for verification: the holder’s name, the certificate name, the issue date, and its status. It never shows the student’s documents or private data.

On the certificate itself

Where do you find the number and code?

At the bottom of every certificate is its unique number, with a QR code beside it. In a PDF file, the code and link are clickable, so whoever views the certificate on a computer opens the verification page with one click.

A unique number for every certificate, never repeated
A QR code that opens the verification page with the number and code together

Common questions

About certificate verification

Why do I need the verification code along with the certificate number?

The code protects the certificate data from guessing. Someone who does not have the certificate cannot open its details with the number alone.
