How to Validate Digital Diplomas or Certificates

A CeDiploma or CeCertificate can be validated online one of two ways:

1. Credential Validation Page: To validate degree or certificate information, visit the validation page. Enter the 12-digit CeDiD found in the upper corner of the CeDiploma or CeCertificate, along with the first two letters of the name as it appears on the diploma.

2. Digital Signature: All CeDiplomas and CeCertificates are digitally signed by CeCredential Trust. When the document is viewed through Adobe Reader or Acrobat versions 9.0 or higher, it will reveal that a digital signature has been applied to the document. Adobe Reader and Acrobat use a blue ribbon across the top of the document to indicate document has not been tampered with and is therefore authentic.

Mac users: When viewing an official electronic diploma, the software utilizes Adobe's secure certified PDF technology, and therefore may only be viewed using the free Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat 9.0 or higher. The default Mac preview application will not display the document correctly.
