How do I get and verify my certificate?
Your PDF certificate arrives with your result email. Anyone can check it by entering its certificate ID on our verify page.
When the review is complete, your result email comes with your Certificate of Authenticity attached as a PDF. It shows the item details, the verdict, the date and a unique certificate ID. The View Certificate Online button in the email opens it on our site.
The certificate is issued in English, the language eBay and PayPal accept for disputes.
To verify a certificate:
- Go to Verify a certificate.
- Enter the certificate ID printed on the certificate. The short 8-character ID works.
- The matching certificate opens. If nothing is found, check the ID for typos.
If you resell the item, you can show the PDF to the buyer, and they can check it the same way.
The certificate records our professional opinion. It is not issued or endorsed by any brand.
