Certificate Verification
Licence certificates issued by the Authority contain verification features enabling third parties to confirm the authenticity and current status of a licence.
◆ Each licence certificate includes a QR verification code that links directly to the licence holder’s entry in the public register. This allows third parties to independently confirm that a certificate is genuine and that the licence remains in good standing.
How to Verify a Certificate
To verify a licence certificate, scan the QR code printed on the certificate using any standard QR code reader. The code links to the Authority’s public register, where the licence holder’s current status is displayed. Alternatively, search the public register directly using the licence number shown on the certificate.
What Verification Confirms
Certificate verification confirms whether the licence certificate was issued by the Authority and whether the licence is currently active. It does not constitute an endorsement of the licence holder’s services or business practices.
Important
If a certificate cannot be verified through the QR code or public register, contact the Authority directly. Do not rely on unverified certificates as evidence of licensing status.
The Certificate Verification Framework sets out the standards and procedures governing certificate verification.
