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.

Example result (mock)

This is a stylized example so clerks and families know what to expect.
