Issuing Digital Credentials as an Organization

This section walks you through the 4 stages of a credential’s lifecycle, in the order you normally need them:

1. Create a recognition template — define what you’re going to recognize (category and credential type, among 31 types) and with what criteria.
2. Design the PDF record — the downloadable document that accompanies the credential (optional, but recommended).
3. Issue the credential — send it to one person or many, and track statuses, revocations, and reports.
4. Manage your portal and account — configure your organization’s identity, who administers it, how you receive notifications, and your plan.

First time issuing credentials? Follow the order 1 → 2 → 3. You don’t need to finish the record to issue: you can issue without a PDF and add it later.
