CBSE Verification Process: A Complete, School-Ready Guide
When school leaders search for the CBSE Verification Process, they usually need one of three things:
- Verification of certificates for admissions or hiring,
- Verification of marks or re-evaluation after results, or
- Offline Verification for legacy records.
This page gives you the exact steps for each, plus a simple checklist to keep your team compliant and fast.
What the CBSE Verification Process covers
Exact scope as described by CBSE for schools and institutions.
Certificate verification
Certificate verification for Class X and XII marksheets, pass and migration certificates.
Verification of marks
Verification of marks, photocopies, and re-evaluation after results.
Offline & legacy
Offline or legacy verification when documents predate digitisation or where online data is not available.
Verify CBSE Certificates Online (Schools, Universities, Employers)
CBSE provides two secure options. First, Parinam Manjusha and DigiLocker host digitally signed documents with PKI-based QR codes that can be authenticated instantly. Second, CBSE’s Certificate Chain (ABCD blockchain) allows on-portal verification or institution-level bulk verification through registration and APIs. For most school admissions or employment checks, use the Verify option, enter the candidate’s details, and confirm the QR-coded record on screen.
Quick Steps
- Go to CBSE’s Certificate Chain portal and select Verify.
- Choose the class, enter roll number, year, and other basics, then Go to view the record.
- For high volumes, institutions can register for bulk/API verification.
Tip for Schools: Ensure students activate DigiLocker accounts ahead of results, so records auto-appear and are easy to share with colleges.
Apply for Verification of marks, photocopies, and re-evaluation
After the results, candidates apply online for verification of marks, scanned photocopies of answer books, or re-evaluation within CBSE’s notified window. The application links for Class X and XII, the helpline circular, and the online portal are published on CBSE’s Verification Process page, which then routes to cbseit.in for applications and status checks. Share this process note with parents to reduce office queries.
Offline Verification and Legacy cases
When online data is not available, employers or institutions can send a copy of the marksheet or certificate to the concerned Regional Office with the prescribed fee. As per CBSE’s procedure, the typical fee is payable per document, and records prior to 1975 cannot be verified as they have been weeded out. Always contact the relevant Regional Office for jurisdiction and current postage charges before dispatch.
Summary table: Choose the right path

Best-practice checklist for school leaders
Pre-result readiness
Ensure every learner’s DigiLocker account is confirmed by the school.
Admissions season SOP
Train your team to verify QR-codes on digital certificates first, then use the Verify portal for cross-checks.
Clear parent comms
Publish the yearly timelines and links for verification of marks, photocopies, and re-evaluation.
Legacy handling
