2 - Obtaining a Verified Certificate as Evidence
- Wan Yuen Ho

A verified certificate shows that you have successfully completed an edX course with a passing grade in the verified track. You are required to verify your identity using your webcam and a photo ID that has the photo and name on the same side, with a name that matches your full name in your edX account.
Verified certificates are available for a fee that varies by course, ranging between 50 USD and 300 USD. Please check for the USD price displayed in Canvas; there is no need to pay additional charges to host institutions.
Once enroled in the audit track, you can upgrade to the verified track soon after the course begins. But take note of when the audit access expires (usually 5-6 weeks from start date) and the deadline to upgrade.
You will NOT be able to upgrade to the verified track after the upgrade deadline has passed, or after the course has ended.
No certificates are available for archived courses.
If you have decided to earn a verified certificate for this course, click on Upgrade Now.
For students doing Design-Your-Own-Course (DYOC):
You need to make payment upfront for the verified track of the course you intend to declare as DYOC, and request for reimbursement after passing the course and obtaining the verified certificate (with a capped amount per student).
Please refer to the DYOC website for more information.
Payment for Verified Track
Fill in your payment details to place order.
Payment modes include credit/debit card (Discover, Mastercard, Visa, AMEX), PayPal, or Apple Pay (on supported devices). Note that the currency is in US Dollars (USD).
Verify your identity
When you've completed all the course contents and graded assignments, go to the Dashboard and click Verify Now.
EdX encrypts your photos and uses the highest levels of security available to protect your data.
Technical Requirements
Make sure that you are using a supported browser (latest version of Chrome and Firefox).
To take photographs, the webcam uses Adobe Flash Player.
This verification process takes 1-2 days to complete. A message on your dashboard (and a notification email) informs you whether the verification process was successful; if not you have to submit new verification photos. Once successful, it is effective for one year for all the courses you purchase later.
