Verified Certificates demonstrate your achievements on Coursera. In addition to the course name and instructor signature, the Verified Certificate features the logo of the partner institution offering the course, a statement attesting to your confirmed identity, and a certification URL that allows others to check the Certificate’s authenticity.
To earn a Verified Certificate, you must
- earn a passing grade in a course,
- verify each assignment (through typing and webcam verification), and
- pay the associated fee.

Where is my Verified Certificate?
You can find your Verified Certificates on your Accomplishments page.
If your Verified Certificate is missing, please:
- Check the syllabus and your course grade to ensure you met the passing criteria
- Check that more than 2 weeks have passed since the course ended
- Clear your browser’s cookies and cache and revisit your Accomplishments page
It can take up to 2 weeks after the final assignment deadline for your Verified Certificate to appear on your Accomplishments page. Verified Certificates are provided in PDF format; you may need a PDF reader to view the downloaded file.
If you receive a Statement of Accomplishment and were expected a Verified Certificate, there was likely a problem with your verification during the course. Contact us if you believe this was an error.
