Certificate of Participation questions
Can winners get a different certificate from participants?

Can students download their certificate themselves?
Yes. Each certificate has its own link where the student can view and download the PDF.
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.
