IDPro® Badges and Credentials

Show off your achievements!

IDPro^® badges, offered via Credly, are a great way to show the world your skills and demonstrate support for the IAM industry. When you earn CIDPRO® certification, contribute to the Body of Knowledge, or otherwise volunteer your time with one of the active IDPro committees, you can easily and quickly share verified proof anywhere online.

IDPro badges are represented by a digital image that, once clicked on by a colleague, employer, or any other interested party, will display verified information such as issue date and what it took to earn the badge.
