# How to Verify Certificates

## Offline Verification

DIVOC supports offline verification of the QR code-based digital certificates to support the verification of certificates in connectivity-restricted regions, and make it more user-friendly. 

The QR code can also be verified by third-party authorised verifier applications to enable domestic and cross-border verification of DIVOC-issued certificates. 

## Online Verification

DIVOC provides a public portal that allows verifiers (including self-verification by beneficiaries) to verify certificates.
