Independent Study ID — Credential Cards and Verification
Public ISID platform live

Independent Study ID

A public credential card and verification layer for independent learning — now connected to the standalone ISID platform on independentstudy.id.
Professional cards. QR profiles. Reviewable credential records.

A credential system built like a security protocol

ISID is designed to issue and verify independent learning credentials instantly, securely, and transparently. The goal: cryptographic proof that a credential exists and is valid — with zero personal data leakage.

🔐 privacy-first verification

Verification

Public cards show credential review status clearly: approved records, awaiting approval records, and flagged/under-review records are separated by status. QR codes point back to the holder’s public credential profile, while private uploaded evidence stays private unless explicitly made public.

What the public ISID platform does

ISID separates public credential display from private evidence review. Learners can publish a card, while credential records remain tied to review status and audit history.

🔐
Signed records
Approved credentials receive signed verification records inside the ISID platform.
🪪

🙈
Privacy controls
Credential visibility and evidence files remain controlled; private uploads are not exposed publicly by default.

Audit trail
Admin review, credential status changes, and platform events are recorded for accountability.

Public QR profiles
QR codes resolve to public card profiles on card.independentstudy.id for quick sharing and verification.

Production .id signing platform is live

Create and manage professional credential cards at independentstudy.id.

The .org site remains the public information, policy, and ecosystem context home for Independent Study ID. The .id domain is now the secure signing and professional credential card platform where users can register, build branded identity cards, add credential records, generate QR-linked public profiles, and manage review status.

Credential records on the .id platform show clear review states: Approved, Awaiting Approval, or Flagged / Under Review. ISID verifies submitted credential records according to platform review status and does not replace the original issuing authority unless explicitly integrated with that authority.

Accepted issuer identifiers

Institution records ISID can reference.

Credential submissions can include durable public identifiers for schools, universities, research bodies, training providers, nonprofits, companies, and issuing organizations.
