Credly import
CREST issues digital badges through Credly. Ask the holder for the public badge link and import it. Confirm that the badge represents an individual certification, rather than an organization accreditation.
If your award has a public Credly badge, you can import its URL. CertSprout automatically checks supported Credly and Microsoft Learn records. Provider-site lookups and manually attached links do not automatically mark a credential verified. A public record confirms the award; it does not prove the signed-in user owns it.
