Share or Download Your Scribble Maps Certificate

When you earn a certification in Training by Scribble, you get a certificate for it. You can download it as a PDF, share it, add it to your LinkedIn profile, and anyone you show it to can check that it is real.

Open your certificate

1. In the editor, open Menu > Certifications (or Training by Scribble and the Certifications tab).
2. On a certification you earned, choose Share to see your certificate, or Download to get the PDF right away.

You can also choose Share on the panel that appears when you earn a certification.

Choose the name on your certificates

The first time, Scribble Maps asks for the name for your certificates. Type your name as you want it printed and choose Save name. You choose this name; it is not taken from your account. It can have letters, spaces, hyphens, apostrophes and periods, from 2 to 100 characters.

Every certificate you earn uses this name. Each certificate also gets its own certificate ID, for example SM-7KQ4-M2XD-9PRH-3TCW. The ID never changes.

Download the PDF certificate

Choose Download PDF certificate (or Download on the badge). The PDF is a US Letter page, ready to print. It shows:

• your name and the certification
• the date you earned it
• the certificate ID
• the verification link and a QR code that opens it

Share it

The share panel has these buttons:

• Share opens your device's share options with your certificate image, where your browser supports it.
• Add to LinkedIn opens LinkedIn's Add license or certification form with the name, Scribble Maps as the issuer, the date, the certificate ID and the verification link already filled in.
• Copy text copies a short line about your certification with its link, ready to paste anywhere.
• Download image saves a picture of your certificate sized for social posts.
• Copy link copies the verification link.

LinkedIn does not let other sites fill in skills. Under Skills to add on LinkedIn, choose Copy skills and add them in LinkedIn's Skills box yourself.

The verification page

Each certificate has a page at verify.scribblemaps.com that shows the name, the certification, the date it was earned, the certificate ID and the skills it covers. It never shows your email address or account.

• The page is private until you share. While it is private, the link shows "Certificate not found", the same as a link that does not exist.
• Turn Public verification page on to make it public, or off to hide it again.
• Share, Add to LinkedIn and Copy text turn the page on for you, because a link you share should work.

Check someone's certificate

Scan the QR code on the PDF, open the link, or go to verify.scribblemaps.com and type the certificate ID printed on the certificate. If the certificate is real and public, its page opens.

Change your name

Choose Change name, type the new name and choose Save name. Certificates you already have keep the old name until you choose Update this certificate to (new name) on each one. An updated certificate gets a new ID. Its old verification page stays up and says it was reissued, with a link to the new one, so links you already shared still lead somewhere.

Troubleshooting

• The link says "Certificate not found". The page is private. Open the certificate and turn on Public verification page. Check that the ID was typed correctly too. Capital or small letters, spaces and dashes do not matter.
• Share does nothing or says sharing is not available. Some browsers cannot share files. Use Add to LinkedIn, Copy text or Download image instead.
• LinkedIn did not open. Allow pop-ups for scribblemaps.com and try again.
