1. Set the source and card number

On the certification's editor, set Verification source to NCCER or OSHA, and enter the Card / cert # exactly as printed. FieldCred then shows a fixed link to that source's real portal — this can't be redirected anywhere else:

  • NCCER → the NCCER Registry's Online Verification, a login-gated lookup by card number.
  • OSHA → OSHA doesn't run one central verification service; card issuance is spread across individual Authorized Training Organizations. The linked aggregator portal covers many providers, but not all — if a card doesn't turn up there, that alone isn't proof it's invalid.

2. Look it up

Open the portal link, search by the card number, and confirm the name and credential match what's on file in FieldCred.

3. Record it

Back in FieldCred, check "I checked this on the portal above and confirmed it's real." This stamps your email and the current time as the verification record, and shows a green Verified pill on the cert going forward.

The card number is shown on the public record too — on purpose. It's already printed on the physical badge a worker hands over at a gate, so showing it on the public /r/:slug page isn't a new exposure — it's what makes the Verify link actually usable by whoever's standing at the gate.

Not an NCCER or OSHA card? Choose State board / other instead and paste a verification URL directly — FieldCred rejects unsafe link schemes (like javascript:) automatically, both when you save and when the link renders on the public page.
