How to verify a digital diploma

A short walkthrough for employers and admissions teams verifying a blockchain-anchored university diploma with BlockSys.

By BlockSys

You received a digital diploma from a candidate. How do you know it was not edited after the university issued it?

Step 1 — Open the public verifier

Go to blocksys.tech/en/verify. You do not need an account.

Step 2 — Upload the credential package

Use the JSON / credential file the graduate shared, or follow the QR link printed on the diploma PDF.

Step 3 — Read the result

A successful check confirms the content fingerprint still matches the blockchain record created at issuance. A failure means the file no longer matches what the institution sealed.

Tips for admissions and hiring teams

  • Prefer the graduate’s original package over a screenshot.
  • Treat verification as complementary to your existing background checks—not a replacement for transcript requests when your process requires them.
  • If verification fails, ask the graduate to re-download from their issuer or contact the registrar’s office.
