How to Verify a CompTIA Certification

Send verification of a CompTIA certification electronically.

The Computer Technology Industry Association provides you with an ID card if you have successfully passed a certification exam. In some cases, you may use this as proof of your certification. However, some employers may also request verification directly from the company. In this case, you may request that CompTIA send verification directly to that employer. To ensure continual certification, check the expiration date on your CompTIA ID card each year. Renew your certification before the expiration date.

Instructions

1. Go to the CompTIA website. Click on "Certifications & Exams."

2. Click on "Your Certifications" on the menu on the left-hand side of the web page.

3. Click on the red "Login Now" link.

4. Enter your CompTIA Career ID in the box. Then, type in your password and click "Login."

5. Click on the red "Never logged in before?" link if you have never logged into this website before. To create your account, fill out the form. Provide your last name and registration number. Choose a password to finish creating the account.

6. Follow the on-screen prompts once you are logged into your account to send your certification information to potential employers. You may also send verification to educational institutions. Provide the names of the recipients and the addresses in the appropriate boxes.
