Society of Professional Interpreters
Certificate check
Check a certificate
Upload the PDF you were given, or type the certificate ID printed on it. The answer comes from the Society's own record of what it issued.
Upload the PDF
The check reads the file and tells you whether it is genuine and whether anything on it has been changed.
The file is read for this check and is not kept.
Type the certificate ID
The ID is 14 letters and numbers, printed on the certificate beside the QR code. A pasted certificate link works too.
How a certificate is checked
Is it on the Society's record?
Every certificate the Society issues has its own page on this site. The page shows the certificate and says if it has been revoked.
Has the file been changed?
Each PDF carries the Society's digital signature. If a name, a title or a date on it is edited, the check shows it.
Has the record been changed?
The Society seals its record of every certificate, and independent companies timestamp it. A record altered after the certificate was issued no longer matches.
