Bring in badges from other platforms

From Import you can add Open Badge 3.0 credentials issued elsewhere. They keep their original issuer and show the result of checking their proof.

Imported credentials are private until you choose to show them.

What can be imported

The import workflow is for supported Open Badge 3.0 credential data. An ordinary PDF, a photograph of a certificate or a badge-shaped image is not automatically a machine-readable Open Badge. Ask the original platform for its credential export if you only have artwork.

Review the result of the proof check

1. Open Import an Open Badge and provide the supported credential input.
2. Inspect the original issuer, named subject, award and dates.
3. Read the proof result. A badge whose proof is invalid is refused. One that imports can show its proof as verified, unsupported or missing, and only verified means Nyvarra checked it; do not treat the other two as verified.
4. Keep the item private until you have checked its details, then choose whether it belongs in your public portfolio.

What Nyvarra does not change

The original issuer remains responsible for the award. Importing does not reissue it under Nyvarra, convert it into an institutional accreditation or establish that every organization accepts it. The displayed checking result explains the evidence available for that imported record.

If import fails

Check that the input is the credential data rather than a web page or image, and that it has not been altered since export. If it is already in your Passport, open the existing record instead of importing it repeatedly. For unsupported data, obtain the correct export from the original issuer or contact support with a redacted example and the error.
