All certificates and badges created through Certify are verified through their email and web domains to vouch for their validity. If you manually upload a credential created outside of our system, Certify can't say whether or not the credential is valid.
​
We are in the process of working on ways to verify these user-uploaded credentials. However, we cannot do so at this current moment in time, which is why user uploaded credentials will have the 'Unverified' badge on them.

As an important source of verification and validity for Digital Credentials, one of Certify's primary responsibilities is to identify and vouch for valid credentials. Therefore we are required to identify credentials that we are not able to verify clearly.
