Registry lookup

Check a credential ID.

The credential ID appears on the membership certificate, in the format AIKM-XXXX-XXXXXXXX. You can also search by member name.

How verification works

Built to be checked, not taken on trust.

Every credential is a record with a non-guessable ID. If an ID is not in the registry, the credential does not exist, whatever a document may claim.

Each record carries a signature computed at the moment of issue, so a tampered or back-dated record fails verification.

Corporate, Fellow, Founding, Senior, Full, Personal and Student grades are distinct registry classes and cannot be self-declared.

Anyone can browse the published roster by grade, so a claimed membership can be checked without contacting the institute.
