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.

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.

See How Teams Use CertLister

Different teams, same problem — credentials that need to be issued, tracked, and verified. Here's what that looks like in practice.

Schools & Universities

A 200-student program graduates next Friday. Upload the roster, pick a template, and every graduate has a branded PDF and verification link before the ceremony starts.

Corporate Training Programs

HR needs to know who's certified for the Q3 compliance audit. One dashboard shows every employee's status, what's expired, and what's expiring next month.

You run 12 courses across 3 locations. Each course has its own category, its own template, and its own verification page — all managed from one account.
