Anyone with a phone can check the diplomas and documents you issue

Add an IVQA QR code to what you already issue. When someone scans it, they see your record and whether it’s still valid.

Illustration with sample data. One IVQA workflow, shown for six items in turn: select the person, upload or create the item, add the IVQA QR code, drag it into place, resize it from a corner, save or apply it, and a phone opens check.ivqa.org, which answers Valid. Example University issues a student document and a diploma to the student Alex Example, Example Academy a course certificate, Example University a student e-card whose QR is part of the card (Export PDF), and Example Company an employee badge (Export PDF) and a document (Confirm Placement).
  • Graduates show the QR code on their diploma.
  • Employers scan it with their phone camera.
  • Employees wear a badge that partners can check.
  • Students carry an e-card with their photo.
  • HR teams issue work and salary certificates.
  • Alumni keep a diploma that stays verifiable.
  • Registrars issue transcripts with a QR code.

What you can put a QR code on

Keep your own design for diplomas, certificates and documents. Student cards and employee badges are designed in IVQA.

Three steps to issue

They’re the same for a whole class or for one new employee.

  1. Add the people you issue to. Students or employees, from a CSV file or one by one.
  2. Give them QR codes. A whole class at once, or one per employee.
  3. Issue. Put the IVQA QR on the diplomas and documents you already issue. Student cards and employee badges are designed in IVQA.

Compare the paper with your record

Anyone can edit a PDF. The page shows the details you registered, so whoever checks can compare them with the copy they were given.

If you revoke something, the next scan says Revoked. Revoked it by mistake? Restore it.

See how often your documents get checked

Analytics counts checks and their results by document, person and month. The activity log shows who added people, generated QR codes and issued documents, with their role and the time.

For schools and for companies

Schools issue to their students, companies to their employees. Each gets its own workspace.

Security, in short

The full details are on our security page. Here’s the short version.

Read the security page
  • Every QR link is signed. The public page checks the signature before it shows anything.
  • Every stored file has a fingerprint. IVQA records a SHA-256 fingerprint when the file is saved and shows it on a valid result.
  • Everything runs over HTTPS. That goes for ivqa.org, app.ivqa.org and check.ivqa.org.
  • Only your organization can change a status. You revoke or restore, and the next scan shows it.

Try it with one document

Sign up, add one person and put a QR code on something you already issue.

Behind every document is a person

A graduate applying for a job, or an employee at a client’s door. When someone scans their QR code, they get your answer straight away.
