This unique code appears at the top-right corner of the certificate, close to the QR code, and is required to verify the document.

3. Enter Your Certificate Code
Once the page opens, type your Certificate Identification Code into the provided field exactly as it appears on your certificate.

If the certificate is authentic, the system will display the corresponding certificate details.
If no result appears, recheck the code entered or contact NSS support for assistance.
