Verify a Certificate

For employers and universities checking a document issued by IGSR.

Enter the document number printed on the certificate and the date of birth of the person it was issued to. Both are needed: the number alone does not confirm anything.

About IGSR certificates and documents

IGSR issues certificates of completion, certificates of publication, letters of recommendation, offer letters and ID cards. Each carries a unique document number that can be checked on this page. Certificates are issued within 2–7 working days of completing a programme or of publication.

Terms of use

Documents are issued to the named holder only and may be shared with employers, universities and other institutions for verification.
A certificate confirms participation in an IGSR programme or publication with IGSR. It is not an academic degree, diploma or professional qualification, and carries no academic credit unless an institution separately recognises it.
IGSR may revoke a document issued on the basis of false information or misconduct; revoked documents show as invalid here.
A successful check confirms only that the document is genuine and the details it records. It is not a reference or endorsement beyond what the document states.
For any question about a document, write to info@igsresearch.org with the document number.

Forged or altered documents

Creating, altering or using a fake IGSR document is a criminal offence and a civil wrong. IGSR reports such cases to the authorities and may seek damages through civil action. For example:

India: under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, forgery (section 336) is punishable with up to 2 years' imprisonment, a fine or both, and up to 7 years and a fine where the forgery is made for cheating; using a forged document as genuine (section 340) is punished as forgery; cheating (section 318) may also apply. Under the Information Technology Act, 2000, cheating by personation using a computer resource (section 66D) is punishable with up to 3 years' imprisonment and a fine.
Internationally: forgery and the use of false documents are criminal offences in virtually every jurisdiction — for example, under the UK Forgery and Counterfeiting Act 1981 (up to 10 years' imprisonment) and under US federal and state fraud and forgery laws.
