The Scottish Credentials Framework

The Scottish Credentials Framework is a standardized system for verifying and issuing digital certificates that confirm a person's identity, qualifications, or professional status. It ensures that digital credentials are trustworthy, easily recognizable, and secure across different organizations and platforms. By applying consistent standards, it helps individuals confidently share their credentials online—such as diplomas, licenses, or achievements—facilitating seamless authentication and reducing fraud. Overall, it promotes a secure, efficient way to validate credentials in digital environments, supporting trusted interactions in education, employment, and other sectors in Scotland.
