Anyone can verify a certificate, whether they are logged in or not. There are two ways to verify a certificate:

Option 1: Verify Using the Certificate ID

1. Open the Verification Page.
2. Enter the Certificate ID shown on the certificate.
   Example: MCSLD-U01I01C01-COD01
3. Click Verify Certificate.
4. A page displays the certificate verification details.

Option 2: Verify Using the QR Code

Certificates that include QR code, When that QR code is scanned,

• The verification page opens automatically.
• The certificate ID is pre-filled.
• Verification runs automatically.

The verification includes:

• • Learner name
  • Issue date
  • Certificate name
  • Course, group, quiz, or lesson details
  • Certificate preview, when available
  • Download Button

Certificate Preview on Verification Page:

When a certificate PDF is stored on the server, the verification page shows a preview of the certificate. 

If the PDF is not stored, the preview shows a placeholder message instead. This can happen when Disable saving to the server is enabled.

Note: Certificate PDFs are stored by default under: /uploads/mcsld-multiple-certificates/

Verify from the LearnDash Completion Alert: 

After completing a course or group, learners may see a Verify Certificate button on the LearnDash success alert. When clicked, the button opens the verification page in a new tab.
