How Verification Works
What you can verify, what we show publicly, and how to use results responsibly.
Three steps
1) Get the code
Paste a code, paste a full verification link, or scan the QR on a printed credential.
2) Confirm the result
The verify page returns a real issued record, plus lifecycle state (active/expired/revoked).
3) Use it correctly
Verification proves a church-issued record exists. It is not legal advice or a government filing.
What’s shown publicly (and why)
| Item | Public | Not public |
|---|---|---|
| Certificate verify | Code, name, issued date, standing/lifecycle, program scope, revocation status. | Email, address, phone, private notes, internal audit details (unless admin). |
| Member ID verify | Member display name, card kind, issue/expiry, status, QR verification link. | Personal contact details, private profile fields, document vault contents. |
| Minister verify | Minister ID, name, ordination/standing status, status ladder milestones. | Email, phone, address, sensitive ceremony details, private admin notes. |
These boundaries are intentional: verification pages are built for public trust without turning into a personal-data leak.
