Verify a certificate

This stops the register being read one certificate number at a time.

Using the QR code

Certificates issued from July 2026 carry a QR code. Scanning it with any phone camera opens this page with the number already filled in and checked. The code encodes only the certificate number — no personal data is stored in it.
