Starting April, 2022 OffSec digital certificates and badges got a new look. Besides the change in look we also brought improvements which makes the certificate version easier to share, easier to verify and more secure.
With the exception of OSCE3, all the traditional physical paper version certificates and wallet cards are no longer available.

Do I have to create an account with Accredible?
Creating an account with Accredible is not necessary in order for you to be able to view, download and share your credentials.
If you're unable to locate the email from Accredible after claiming your badge or certificate, you can retrieve the certificates or badges associated with your email address here.
If you already have an account with Accredible or wish to create one, you can sign in or setup your new account here.
I passed my exam years ago. How can I get a digital certificate from Accredible?
All of our alumni are able to claim their digital badge and certificate for any exam they've passed with OffSec. If you haven’t received an email notification from OffSec with information about your Accredible digital credentials, then please submit a request here.
How can I share my Accredible badge and digital certificate on social media?
To share your certification on social media, access your digital credential with Accredible and use the buttons in the “Share your achievement!” section.
How can I download my digital certificate or badge?
Once you've accessed the "My credentials" page, you will first have to select the credentials you would like to download. Once you're on the selected credentials page (i.e. OSEP), you can download the certificate and/or badge via the buttons under the credential's name:
Can I remove an OffSec badge from my account, if I no longer want to showcase it?
If you no longer wish to showcase your badge and certificate, you can switch the privacy of your credential from Public to Private. Note, in order to use this functionality, you will need to create an account with Accredible.
How can I change the name appearing on my certification/badge?
In order to modify the name appearing on your badge and certification, please submit a request here and we’ll be happy to assist you.
Note that OffSec issues certificates only under the legal name appearing on your official, Government-issued IDs.
Can I receive a paper version of the certificate for an extra fee?
No, outside of the OSCE3, we have stopped the printing for all of our certificates.
I lost my old paper certificate, can I order a reprint?
While ordering a reprint is no longer available, you are highly encouraged to claim your digital certificate and badge. The digital certificates available are built to allow our learners to print them if they wish to do so.
A guide containing our recommended printing specifications can be found here.
Can I print the digital certificate?
Yes, learners who pass an exam receive access to a high quality digital version of their certificate which can be printed on demand from home or at a local print shop.
Will my digital certificate and badge expire?
No. Our certifications do not expire with the exception of OSCC certification. Therefore, the associated digital certificate and badges will also not expire.
Can I use my digital certificate as proof of having achieved an OffSec certification?
Yes, the digital certificate carries the same weight as a paper certificate.
Can I receive a wallet card?
The traditional printed wallet cards have also been modernised. With Accredible, you can now add your credentials to your mobile wallet by selecting Add to Mobile Wallet in the More drop-down menu.
To add your wallet card, you will have to open the page on your mobile, while being logged in to your Accredible account, and press the Add to Wallet button.
