Check a certificate is genuine.
Type the reference printed on the certificate — it looks like AT-4K9P-22 — or scan the QR code on the page. This is a public check: anyone reading the document can use it, and it never shows the document itself.
This page confirms that we issued a certificate and names the translator who signed it. It never shows the document, the applicant's details or anything that was translated — only a fingerprint of the certificate itself.

No anonymous "our team of experts". One person puts their name and their professional standing on your document.
You don't pay for it twice.
Tell us at checkout who's receiving it. If they refuse it over the certification itself, we redo it free — and if the second attempt still doesn't land, you get every penny back.
Questions about verification
What does this page actually prove?
That we issued the certificate on the date shown, for the document type shown, and that a named translator on the CIOL or ITI register signed it.
Who signs the certificates?
A translator on the register of the Chartered Institute of Linguists or the Institute of Translation and Interpreting. Their name and membership number are printed on the page and can be checked against the public register.
The reference isn't found. What now?
Check for a typo first — references look like AT-4K9P-22. If it still doesn't resolve, email us the reference and we'll confirm within the hour whether the certificate is ours.
Is my document stored on this page?
No. The page holds a fingerprint of the certificate and nothing that was translated — no names, no scans, no application details.
