Share a certificate with an employer

• One certificate: send its verification link, or let them scan the QR code on the PDF. They see the live result.
• LinkedIn: choose Add to LinkedIn in Credentials or Share. LinkedIn opens with the certificate's name, issuer, date and verification link filled in; you just save it. If the issuer has linked their LinkedIn page, their logo appears too.
• WhatsApp: choose Share on WhatsApp in Credentials, Share, the verification page or the certificate email. Pick a chat; the link shows a picture of the certificate, and anyone can tap it to check it.
• Everything: share your public Passport, which shows only the certificates you choose.
• Links for each purpose are on Share.

A verification link is stronger than an attached PDF. The person checking sees the certificate's current status, straight from the record.

Choose the smallest useful thing to share

• A single award: send its verification URL.
• A focused application portfolio: create a collection containing the relevant certificates.
• Your broader professional record: make the intended Passport content public and share its profile address.
• A printable submission: download a Passport or collection PDF and retain the live verification links for checking current status.

Check the recipient's view

1. Review the certificate's current status and use the replacement if it has been corrected.
2. Check Passport and per-certificate visibility settings if you are sharing a portfolio or collection.
3. Open the public link while signed out or in a private browsing window to inspect what another person can actually see.
4. Check your name, issuer and award details before sending the link to the employer or admissions office.

LinkedIn and WhatsApp

Add to LinkedIn prepares certification details for you to review and save. Share on WhatsApp prepares a message and link for the chat you choose. These actions do not mean the employer has checked the certificate, and a messaging preview may lag behind a later correction. The live verification page is the reference for current status.

What a public viewer can do

A viewer can check the public verification record without becoming a member of the issuer or your Passport. The downloadable certificate PDF, credential JSON and Open Badge have separate ownership checks. Share the verification URL when the goal is to let someone check the award, rather than promising an anonymous download.

See Collections and printable portfolios to create a focused group of certificates for a particular application.
