Control
Check before using
Verification must take place before any use of a certificate or the information it contains.
ANRDI is an independent association. It informs, supports and guides, but does not replace the competent authorities, official reporting platforms, AFNIC, a lawyer or a court decision.
Method
Understandable steps
The site reiterates basic controls to avoid reading errors or unreliable copies.
Guidance
A route adapted to your needs
Depending on the context, you can check manually, complete with an internal procedure or prepare a technical integration.
Part 01
Verification steps to follow
Verifying a certificate begins with the use of an identifiable source and a clear consultation process. This limits the risk of error, usurpation or out-of-context reuse.
It is then useful to reread the available information, to check its consistency with the need addressed and to keep a trace of the verification if your procedure requires it.
- Access the verification from the ANRDI website.
- Compare the visible information with your real need.
- Archive the result if your internal procedure requires it.
Part 02
The most frequent points of attention
The most common errors come from partial reading, a certificate shared out of context or a lack of control over the status and date of consultation.
The role of the site is to make these checks readable and direct you to the right resources if a case is more complex than a standard consultation.
- Avoid relying on a simple capture or unverified transfer.
- Take into account the context, the recipient and the date of the check.
- Proceed to further verification if the situation is sensitive.
Part 03
When to mobilize API documentation or ANRDI contact
Some organizations need to verify a large volume of certificates or integrate the verification into their tools. In this case, API documentation helps to frame the project before implementation.
If your need goes beyond the usual route, an official contact remains the best way to obtain a reliable framework.
- See API documentation for integration needs.
- Contact ANRDI for sensitive contractual or organizational cases.
- Maintain a single official route for all important checks.
Frequently asked questions
Questions and answers
When should a certificate be verified?
It is better to check it before using it in a decision, an internal control, a contractual file or an exchange with a third party.
What are the first points to check?
It is necessary to check the consultation context, the identity of the certificate, the consistency of the visible information and the status displayed at the time of the check.
What to do if in doubt?
If any information appears inconsistent or incomplete, it is best to suspend use of the certificate and go through an official contact or the appropriate verification documentation.
