Every certificates.dev credential has a public verification page that anyone can open without an account. If a candidate or vendor claims a certification, you can confirm it in under a minute.
Get the certificate link
Every certificate carries its own public link. Holders share it directly, and when a certificate is added to LinkedIn the credential entry links straight to it. The short form looks like certificates.dev/c/ followed by the certificate id.
Open it in any browser
No account and no login. The verification page is public by design, so anyone checking a claim can see the same thing.
Check what the page shows
The holder's name, the exact certification and level earned, the date they were certified, and the certificate itself. If the credential has expired, or is close to expiring, the page says so plainly.
Verified credential
certificates.dev/c/a1b2c3
Illustrative. Every real certificate opens a page like this, no account needed.
A proctored exam behind it
The credential was earned in a timed, sandboxed exam proctored by an independent proctoring service integrated into the exam flow.
A level that names the bar
Certifications are framework-specific and leveled, so the credential names exactly what was tested, such as Mid-Level Vue.js Developer rather than a generic badge.
Dates you can see
The certified-on date is always visible, and an expired certificate is clearly marked as expired. On some tracks the page also names who the exam was developed with, such as Evan You for Vue.js.
The full methodology, from exam design to renewal, is on the methodology page .
