THREE METRICS
Every credential is cryptographically signed and the PDF carries an electronic seal. If anything is changed, verification shows it.
Manage revocations, expiry dates and new versions in one place. The verification page always shows the current status, even for credentials sent long ago.
Participants share their credential in one click. You see where your name gets visibility and which courses have the most impact.
SAMPLE VERIFICATION
Embed the verification page directly in your own website, on your own domain. Valid, revoked, expired or replaced: the page explains every status in plain language, so HR teams and authorities know what to do.
Upload the PDF file to match its signature and identification number against this record.
The uploaded file matches the record held by the issuer.
Workplace first aider training with 9 lessons: life-saving immediate measures, wound care, CPR with an AED and how to respond to emergencies at work.
The validity status is determined on the server and is complete when the page loads, without any upload. The file check below is an optional extra check for an uploaded copy.
According to the issuer's record, this credential is currently valid: not revoked, not expired and not replaced by a new version.
The issuer has not withdrawn the document.
The document is valid until March 31, 2027.
No newer version of this document exists.
Upload the PDF file above to check it against this record.

The signature comes from the issuer's signing certificate.

The identification number in the PDF file matches this record.
Virtualbadge.ioWhat should you do?
Compare the details with the person presenting the credential.
The verification page shows the status according to the issuer's record. It does not confirm the identity of the person presenting the credential.
Replica of the Virtualbadge.io validation page, embedded in a customer website, with fictitious data. Verifying a credential and checking a PDF copy are free for verifiers.
HOW IT WORKS
Whether it's 20 participants or 20,000 a year: you set up a template once. The platform handles issuing, delivery, status and reporting.
Design certificates and badges in the designer or start from a template. Set your logo, colors, signatures and dynamic fields once.
Upload a list or have the data passed in from your LMS, from Zoom or via API. You map the columns only once.
Every credential is cryptographically signed and the PDF gets an electronic seal. Participants receive an email with their personal link.
Participants save their credential as a PDF, share it on LinkedIn in one click and add it to Apple Wallet or Google Wallet. Every shared credential leads back to you.
Revoke, extend or correct credentials in one place. Every change is logged and shows up on the verification page immediately.
With the Organization Hub, you run locations, brands and teams from one central account: with a consistent look, separate quotas and clear roles.
“I used to spend 2 to 3 hours every day manually preparing certificates!”
After verifying, verifiers download a receipt: the result, each individual check, the time of verification and, if needed, their case reference. Free for everyone who verifies.
ANALYTICS
The global dashboard shows, across all organizations and templates, how many credentials were issued, claimed and shared, what you save by issuing digitally and how your emails are delivered. Export the numbers for your reports. The figures below are sample data.
CSV and compliance exports for reports, funding applications and audits.
Metrics for every location, brand and course, compared with the average.
Events such as “issued” or “shared” flow into your CRM or BI system via webhook.
INTEGRATIONS
Start with a CSV import. As volume grows, your LMS, Zoom or Zapier issue automatically, and your systems hear about it via webhook.
Scope and setup for each system are described in the help documentation.

WHY NOW
Regulation (EU) 2024/1183 sets the framework for the European Digital Identity Wallet.
The data model for verifiable credentials becomes an official web standard.
Every member state must offer its citizens a wallet.
Providers that require strong authentication, for example in education, banking and telecoms, must accept the wallet on request.
Virtualbadge.io has signed the Bitkom MoU on the EUDI Wallet. We are preparing wallet issuance with our first launch partners.
