The QR code and the "Verified by Nyvarra" mark

Every certificate, on every plan, carries a QR code and verification link. They're what make it checkable, so they can't be removed.

Certificates also show "Verified by Nyvarra", which tells the reader the certificate can be checked independently.

• On Free, Credits, Campus and Organization, the mark always shows.
• On Institution and Enterprise, an owner or admin can switch it off in Settings, under Certificate branding. New certificates then carry your name alone.

Switching the mark off affects new certificates only. If a plan lapses, the mark returns on certificates sent after that.

Keep the verification area readable

The QR code connects a printed or digital copy to its live record. Leave enough clear space around it, keep good contrast and avoid placing decorative lines or a background image over it. Test the actual generated output with a phone camera, including the intended printed size where relevant.

Three marks with different meanings

• Verification QR code: opens the certificate's record and current status.
• Verified by Nyvarra branding: identifies the verification service; eligible issuers may hide the visible brand mark for new certificates.
• A decorative seal or handwritten signature image: part of the artwork. It is not the same thing as the record's cryptographic proof or a managed signatory approval.

If branding removal is unavailable

Check the organization's plan, billing standing and your staff permission. The setting is available only when the issuer has the branding-removal capability and is in eligible billing standing. An existing custom design or a large credit pack does not by itself grant that capability.

After changing the setting

Preview a new certificate and verify that the intended branding appears. Existing issued files keep their recorded design. Removing the brand mark does not remove the verification requirement or make the certificate independent of its verification record.

A forger can print a QR code that opens a lookalike website. Verifiers must still check the browser's address or enter the serial themselves on Verify.
