For Issuers

Publish Once. Trusted Everywhere.

Connect your certification program to the compliance infrastructure your customers already depend on. When you issue a credential, it flows directly to the organizations that require it.

Authoritative by Design

Your credentials carry your issuer DID. There is no question about source or authenticity.

Enterprise Reach

Your certifications become visible to every Certcor-connected organization that requires them.

Real-Time Propagation

Revocations, renewals, and new issuances propagate to dependent organizations instantly.

Issuer Analytics

Understand how your credentials are used, where they matter, and when renewal cycles are approaching.

Onboarding

From Application to Live in Days, Not Months

01

Submit Issuer Application

Provide organization details, certification types, and issuer authority documentation. The Certcor team reviews and verifies your issuing authority before onboarding begins.

02

DID Registration and Key Setup

Your organization is assigned a Decentralized Identifier. You generate signing keys and register your DID document with the Certcor registry. All credentials you issue will carry this identity.

03

Schema Definition

Define the credential schema for each certification type you issue. Certcor provides a schema editor and validation tooling. W3C VC 2.0 format is required. Custom claims are supported.

04

API Integration or Bulk Import

Connect your certification management system via the Issuer API, or import an initial batch of credentials via the secure bulk upload tool. Webhooks handle ongoing issuance events.

05

Go Live

Your credentials are live in the Certcor registry. Organizations that require your certifications will immediately see verified status for their credential holders.
