Certificates

Certificates a third party can verify without phoning the office

Nine certificate types issued from student records, each carrying a permanent QR verification URL that reflects revocation immediately.

What the certificate module covers

  • Nine document types

    Marksheet, transfer, character, migration, bonafide, provisional, course completion, conduct and a custom type.

  • Issued from records

    Populated from the student's own enrolment and result data rather than retyped, so the certificate and the record agree.

  • QR verification

    Every certificate carries a QR code resolving to a public verification page that states whether it is valid.

  • Permanent URLs

    Verification links carry no language prefix, so a printed QR keeps working if the school changes its default language.

  • Immediate revocation

    A revoked certificate reads as revoked on the next check. The page is never cached.

  • Family access

    Issued certificates are visible to the student and their guardians in the portals.

Verification is the whole feature

A certificate exists to be shown to somebody who does not trust the person holding it — an admissions office, an employer, a scholarship board. A PDF with a school crest proves nothing, which is why verification usually collapses into a phone call to the school office and a clerk checking a register.

The QR code is the answer to that phone call. It resolves to a public page that states, at the moment it is loaded, whether the certificate is valid, and shows enough detail to match it against the document in hand.

Two design decisions make it trustworthy. The verification page is never cached, because a cached "valid" for a certificate revoked an hour ago is the one failure this feature cannot have. And the URL carries no language prefix — a QR code printed on paper is permanent, and a locale baked into it would break the day the school switched its default language.

Certificates: common questions

Which certificates can AcadiFlow issue?

Marksheets, transfer certificates, character certificates, migration certificates, bonafide certificates, provisional certificates, course completion certificates, conduct certificates, and a custom type for anything a particular institution needs.

How does QR verification work?

Each issued certificate carries a QR code pointing at a public verification URL. Anyone can open it — no login — and see whether that certificate is currently valid, along with enough detail to match it against the paper document.

What happens if a certificate is revoked?

The verification page reports it as revoked on the very next check. That page is deliberately never cached, so revocation takes effect immediately rather than when a cache expires.

Will a printed QR code still work years later?

Yes. Verification URLs deliberately carry no language prefix, so they do not break if the school later changes its default language — a printed certificate is permanent and its link has to be too.
