Open a certificate record

Enter the validity code printed on the ERCA certificate. A correct code opens the corresponding certificate record in the existing LL-C technical system.

Use the letters, numbers and hyphens exactly as printed near the bottom of the certificate.

Why the address changes

erca.eu is the central public entry point. Certificate records remain in the existing LL-C technical system during the transition to the consolidated ERCA architecture. The same system holds the examination and certificate check used across the international ERCA network.

What to check

A name alone is not enough. Match the public record to the work for which the credential is being relied upon.

  • HolderConfirm the person identified in the record.
  • Programme and roleCheck the stated credential title and the professional function it covers.
  • ScopeReview any sector, standard, regulatory extension or other limitation shown in the record.
  • Status and validityConfirm that the credential is current on the date of verification.
  • Programme versionWhere displayed, check the requirements or version against which the decision was made.

What a record does not mean

ERCA records a private professional credential. It does not replace any separate legal, contractual or sector-specific requirement.

Check the context in which the credential will be used.

Acceptance depends on the employer, client, scheme owner or competent authority. If a task requires statutory authorisation, accredited personnel certification, appointment by a conformity-assessment body or another formal status, verify that separately.
