Issue Verifiable Credentials Without the Spreadsheets

Upload a CSV, pick a design, and generate branded PDFs, each with a unique verification link. Recipients share it. Employers check it in one click. You never answer another verification email.

Transcript

Thirty people just finished your first aid course.

At the gate, a supervisor asks for a safety ticket.

A care aide's CPR ran out two months ago.

Different work, same problem: a certificate is just a file, so people call you to check it.

CertLister turns each one into a record that anyone can check.

Import your list from a spreadsheet, up to two thousand rows at a time.

Design your credential once, in your own colours.

Then create every PDF in one batch, and email each person their own link.

Anyone can scan the QR code and see your record, and whether it's still valid.

Recipients can carry it on their phone as a wallet card.

If it expires or you revoke it, the record says so.

Before it expires, the holder gets a reminder on the dates you choose.

And every Monday, your team gets a list of what's due in the next thirty days.

When they renew, the new credential replaces the old one.

Managing Credentials Shouldn't Be This Hard

The workarounds stop working once your organization starts to grow.

Manual Work Takes Forever

You're typing names into a Word template, adjusting the layout, saving as PDF, and emailing each one. A 30-person cohort takes an entire afternoon. A 300-person one? Don't ask.

Verification Requests Pile Up

An employer emails asking if a credential is real. You search your files, confirm, reply. Next week, another one. The same credentials, the same questions — and every answer is on you.

Expiry Dates Are a Nightmare

A certification expired three months ago and nobody noticed. The spreadsheet said June, but which June? Now someone's working with a lapsed credential and compliance is asking questions.

Your Data Is Scattered Everywhere

Half your credentials are in Excel. The rest are PDFs in a shared drive, or emails someone sent last year. When an auditor asks for a report, you're stitching together three systems and somebody's memory.

Platform

From Issue to Verify: One Platform

Issue credentials, track expirations, and let anyone verify them online. No spreadsheets, no manual follow-up.

Public Verification That Runs Itself

Every credential gets a unique verification link. Recipients share it. Employers check it. No login, no phone call, no email to you. Your verification portal works around the clock.

Never Miss an Expiry Date Again

Remind recipients on up to five dates before a credential expires, and every Monday your team gets a list of what's due in the next 30 days. Credentials flip to expired on their own, and a renewal replaces the old one.

Digital Badges Recipients Actually Use

Turn on badges for a category and each credential gets a branded digital badge: a square PNG for LinkedIn profiles, email signatures, or personal websites. Choose from 9 shapes and 8 one-click color palettes, or match your own brand colors.

Compliance Reports Without the Scramble

Visual dashboards show who's certified and who's not. Monthly trend reports track issuance over time. Every verification is logged for audit trails.
