Award Certificate questions

How does someone check that it's genuine?

Every document issued with SealHive carries a QR code and a short link. Scanning it opens a page on our site showing who issued it, to whom and when, and whether it's still valid. Anyone can also upload the PDF to confirm it hasn't been edited.

Is it free?

Yes. You can design and preview with every template for free, and your first certificate is free. After that, you buy credits: one credit issues one certificate or letter.
