Certificate Verification
Confirm the status of a certificate against the university record.
How verification works
Records in this service are entered from the registrar’s authoritative issuance register. A query returns one of three outcomes: Verified — the certificate is present in the record and in good standing; Revoked — it was issued and later withdrawn, and must not be accepted; Withheld — the record is under review.
Where no record matches, the service returns Not verified. Because that can result from a simple transcription error as easily as from a document that was never issued, please write to [email protected] before drawing a conclusion. Where a roll number is on record but nothing has been awarded against it, the service says so explicitly rather than reporting a failure.
To protect the people in the register, the service is rate limited and does not reveal which half of a failed query was wrong.
Frequently asked questions
- Who can use the certificate verification service?
- Anyone. Employers, universities and background-screening agencies can check a certificate without an account or prior registration.
- What do I need in order to verify a certificate?
- The roll number and the date of birth, both as printed on the certificate. Both must match the university record exactly.
- What does "Not verified" mean?
- No record matches the roll number and date of birth given. This may be a transcription error, or the document may not have been issued by the university. Contact [email protected] before relying on the document.
- What does "Revoked" mean?
- The certificate was issued and later withdrawn by the university. It must not be accepted as a valid credential.
- Is a verification response itself a certificate?
- No. It confirms the existence and current status of a record in the university system. It is not a substitute for the certificate or an official transcript. For a signed verification notice on letterhead, write to [email protected].
