Sample credential. Demo data.
Three ways in
Start wherever you found us. Every way opens the same application.
Here on acredex.ca
Choose Get accredited, then the government or enterprise you want credentials from. If it is not on Acredex yet, ask it to join and we will email you when applications open.
From a buyer's website
If a government or company links to Acredex from its vendor page, use that link. It opens the same application.
From an invitation email
Some organizations invite their vendors. Use the link in the email; it works for 30 days and still runs every check.
How it works
Five steps, about 10 minutes.
Your credential is issued automatically when every check passes, usually about a minute after you sign. If one check needs a person, a reviewer at the issuing organization looks at it and may ask you for one more thing.
What to have ready
- A phone or computer that can use a passkey (fingerprint, face or device PIN)
- Your vendor registration ID and business number
- Someone who reads the contact email on your registration, for a 6-digit code
- The names of anyone who owns 25% or more of the business
What you get
One credential that works everywhere you bid.
A live badge
Add one line of code to your website. The badge shows your current status and updates by itself if anything changes.
Only on your websites
The badge shows as verified only on websites you prove you control. Copied anywhere else, it stays neutral.
A QR code for bids
Put it on proposals and documents. It always opens the live answer, never yesterday's.
See who checked you
Every check from a badge, QR code or the verify page, with when and how.
It stays current
Your credential follows the vendor registry. A renewal reminder arrives 30 days before it expires, and renewing keeps the same ID and badge.
Hand over in minutes
If someone else takes over, hand the credential to them. It keeps its ID and stays active.
What we send you
Clear emails at every step.
Every Acredex email comes from Acredex, in English or French, and never asks for your passkey or a password.
Questions
Before you start
Who issues my credential?
The government or enterprise you buy from, through Acredex. You choose it on Get accredited.
My organization is not listed
Choose "not listed" on Get accredited and ask it to join. We contact them and email you when applications open.
What does Acredex keep about me?
The result of your identity check, never a photo, document or biometric. Nothing personal is written to the blockchain.
What if my registry status changes?
Your credential follows it. If you are suspended, it shows Suspended and comes back automatically when you are active again.
I lost my passkey
Choose Recover your account on the sign-in page. We email you a recovery code; every old passkey is removed.
Something else?
Contact us and a member of the Acredex team will get back to you.
