Credential Verification
Track every certification, license, and credential — with issuer-verified links recruiters can validate in one click. Cut verification friction and prove authenticity in a market where 88% of hiring managers report seeing fabricated AI credentials (Insight Global, 2025).
Track every credential
Issuer, issue date, expiry date, credential ID, verification URL — all in one place.

Each credential renders with a deep link to the issuer's official verification registry.
Anti-hallucination
VantageCV's validation prevents AI from fabricating certifications you don't actually hold.

Get notified before certifications lapse so your resume never lists an expired credential.
Issuer-side source of truth
We don't host PDFs. The verification URL points to the issuing body's registry — keeping authority where it belongs.

Frequently asked questions
What is credential verification?
Credential verification proves that the certifications, licenses, and credentials on your resume are authentic and current. VantageCV's verification feature tracks each credential's issuer, issue date, expiry date, and provides verification URLs that recruiters can validate against the issuing body's official registry.
Why does credential verification matter on a resume?
Recruiters increasingly verify credentials before extending offers — and 88% of hiring managers report seeing fabricated certifications on AI-generated resumes (Insight Global, 2025). A verifiable credential link shortens the recruiter's verification step from minutes to seconds, increasing your shortlist odds.
Which credentials are supported?
VantageCV supports verification guidance for the major certification bodies including AWS, Google Cloud, Microsoft, Cisco, PMI (PMP/PMI-ACP/CAPM), CompTIA, ISACA (CISA/CISSP), HRCI/SHRM, ASQ, and most state-licensed professions (nursing, accounting, real estate). New issuers are added weekly based on user requests.
How does the verification link work?
Each credential gets a verification block on your resume containing the credential name, issuer, issue/expiry date, credential ID, and a deep link to the issuer's official verification page. Recruiters click through to confirm authenticity directly with the issuing body — no VantageCV intermediation.
Is credential verification free?
Tracking up to 3 credentials is included in the free tier. Unlimited tracking, expiry reminders, and bulk export are available on Pro+ ($29/month or $199/year — save 43%). All new accounts receive 7 days of full Pro access — no credit card required.
Does VantageCV store my credential PDFs?
No. VantageCV stores credential metadata (name, issuer, dates, IDs, verification URLs) but does not host PDF certificates. The verification URL points to the issuing body's own registry, keeping the source of truth with the issuer.
