Running a conference
Start where NRIC is now.
Check-in, roles, certificates that say what each person did, and a register that carries on from one conference year to the next.

NRIC is a Founding Partner of Nyvarra.
The National Research and Innovation Conference at King Edward Medical University was the first organisation to bring its certificates to Nyvarra, and the first to connect its own platform through the Issuer API. Participants still sign in at NRIC. Every certificate behind it is signed, held and checked on Nyvarra.

How it works
NRIC kept its own front door. Nyvarra runs the register behind it.
Participants never had to learn a new website, and NRIC's team kept the tools it already runs. Signing, storing, serving and checking the certificates happen on Nyvarra, through the same Issuer API any organisation can use.
- NRIC's platform
Participants sign in at NRIC, exactly as before.
- Nyvarra Issuer API
NRIC's platform asks for each person's certificates by serial.

National Research and Innovation Conference
King Edward Medical University · 2026
Certificate of Attendance
is hereby awarded to
Ayesha Khan
for attending the National Research and Innovation Conference 2026
ID: NRIC26-ATT-009417
Issued: 21 May 2026
Verify: nyvarra.app/verify/NRIC26-ATT-009417
Moved exactly as issued
Holders opened the same certificate they were given.
NRIC's name is on every one of these certificates, so the move had one rule: nothing a holder or a checker relies on would change.
- Serials
- Every NRIC26- serial is exactly what was printed. Nothing was renumbered.
- Name and wording
- Each holder's name, the title, the detail line and the date, character for character.
- The design
- NRIC's own layout, carried over and frozen, so every new download matches what holders were first given.
- Signatures
- The two signatures on the face, and the conference's digital signature inside each PDF.
- The original record
- NRIC's own signed record sits under every certificate, kept as it was, with Nyvarra's countersignature beside it.
- Withdrawals and corrections
- Seventeen withdrawn certificates are still withdrawn, and each corrected one still points to its replacement.
When someone checks
A residency programme, an employer or a scholarship board gets the same answer.
- Scan
The QR code opens NRIC's record.
Any phone camera will do. The page shows who issued the certificate, to whom, for what, and whether it still stands, straight from the register.
- Signature
Two signatures, both checked.
NRIC's original signature on the record, and Nyvarra's countersignature beside it. Change one letter of the certificate and neither would hold.
- File
The PDF proves it's the original.
Drop a downloaded copy on the verify page. The browser fingerprints the file without uploading it and finds its match, including copies downloaded before the move.
What's on the register
Eight kinds of certificate, one register.
Delegates, workshop attendees, presenters, the organising team, ambassadors, facilitators and reviewers each keep their own serial family, so a serial still says what kind of certificate it is.
109 certificates had no email address on file. They moved by serial like the rest, ready for their holders to claim into a Nyvarra Passport.

The record so far
Every check since 1 October has come back genuine.
Since the switch-over began, every check of an NRIC certificate has confirmed the original, and no one has reported an NRIC certificate as suspicious. Each certificate is signed, so an edited copy can't pass for the real one.
Counted on 16 October 2026.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does Founding Partner mean?
NRIC was the first organisation to bring its existing certificates to Nyvarra, and the first to connect its own platform through the Issuer API. Much of what Nyvarra now offers organisations with a history of certificates began with that work.
Do NRIC participants still use NRIC's website?
Yes. They sign in at NRIC and find their certificates there, as before. NRIC's platform reads them from Nyvarra through the Issuer API, so a correction made on Nyvarra shows on NRIC's site too.
Is it still an NRIC certificate?
Yes. The issuer is NRIC at King Edward Medical University, and NRIC's own signed record sits under every certificate. Nyvarra holds the register and adds its countersignature.
I downloaded my certificate before the move. Is it still valid?
Yes. Old verify links forward to nyvarra.app, and anyone can type the serial at nyvarra.app/verify or drop the PDF on that page. Download a fresh copy from NRIC's dashboard or your Nyvarra Passport whenever you like.
Can our organisation connect its own platform the same way?
Yes. The Issuer API lets your own system look up your certificates by serial and show them where your people already sign in.
Holding an NRIC certificate?
Scan its code or type its serial. You'll see NRIC's own record, signed in 2026 and checked on Nyvarra today.
