How can I verify my own certificate using the QR Code?

Modified on Thu, 12 Feb at 3:54 PM

Please see below instructions on how to Verify your Certificate Using the QR Code:

1. Scan the QR Code

All certificates issued from October 2019 onwards have a QR code in the bottom-right corner.
Use a smart device (phone or tablet) to scan the QR code on your certificate.
Important Information: Scanning the QR code on a genuine NEBOSH certificate will take you to: https://nebosh-validation.verisecure.org

2. Enter Your Details

Provide your personal information: Name, Organisation and Email address.
When asked for Organisation, enter: Learner

3. Approve the Email Request

You will receive an email at the address NEBOSH has on record for you. Approval request emails will only be sent from: Veri-Secure, noreply@nebosh.org.uk.
Open the email, click the link and paste in the authorisation code given, then click 'Approve' to confirm the verification. You have 2 days to Approve your request before this expires.
If you do not receive the Approval email, we may hold a different email on your learner record. Complete the Change of Details Request Form to update (Once NEBOSH have confirmed your email has been updated, you can submit your request again – see Step 1).

4. Receive Verification Result

After Approval, you will receive an email confirming if the certificate is genuine.

5. Update Personal Details (If needed)

If your Date of Birth is incorrect on the confirmation email, complete a Change of Details Request Form.
Once NEBOSH have confirmed your record has been updated, complete the process again to receive the email confirmation with the correct Date of Birth.

If you are facing issues scanning the QR Code, please proceed by using the Online Verification Service. Details for this can be found on our NEBOSH Online Verification Page.

If you are still facing issues or the certificate was issued before February 2007, you will need to submit the Manual Verification Request Form for NEBOSH to verify your Certificate.
