This link to verified data makes them more reliable and secure than a traditional paper-based credential. It also eliminates the possibility of anyone claiming your credential and your associated identity.

Every credential and profile on Credly has a unique URL that can be shared from the platform to LinkedIn, Facebook, and Twitter via email, embedded in a website, XING or on a resume. You can also add your badge to an email signature. Learn more here.

Labor market insights contain information pulled from active requisitions across the U.S..

Credly does not support the uploading of badges issued by other platforms.

Not at this time. The current open badge infrastructure standards do not allow for real-time verification of our badges outside the Credly platform, which is a main priority for ensuring verification. Credly is working with the open badge community on solutions for this.
