What a certificate looks like
Participating organisations receive a contribution certificate that records their status within a defined scope. This page annotates an example so any reader can see exactly what each field means — and how to verify it against the Register.
A document that points back to a record
A certificate is a readable summary of a profile on the Responsible Markets Register. A Certificate ID confirms the existence and status of a defined-scope certificate record.2 It is designed to be checked, not taken on trust: every certificate carries the identifiers needed to find the live record and confirm that the printed status is still current.
- A record that an organisation participates in the programme for a stated cycle.
- Confirmation of the defined scope that was assessed and documented.
- A pointer back to a public profile that can be independently checked.
Anatomy
Every field, explained
Each element on the certificate has a defined meaning. Read together, they tie a printed document to a verifiable, time-stamped record.
- Certificate IDBCRM-CERT-2026-0002
- A unique reference for the certificate document itself. Every certificate carries one, and it is the value a reader quotes when confirming a record.
- Profile IDBCRM-FRM-2026-0002
- The permanent identifier for the participating organisation's profile on the Register. It does not change between programme cycles.
- Programme statusActive
- The participation status at the issue date — one of Active, Update Due, Expired, Withdrawn or Archived. The Register always shows the current value.
- Programme cycle2026
- The annual cycle the certificate was issued under. Status is reviewed each cycle, so the cycle situates the record in time.
- Defined scopeGovernance, AML/CFT review, due-diligence survey…
- The exact areas the record covers. A certificate only speaks to its defined scope and makes no claim beyond it.
- Legal identity lineCompany No. OC459454 · registered office
- The legal entity, company number and registered office, so the certificate is tied to a verifiable organisation rather than a trading name alone.
- Signatures & issue dateProgramme Director · Authorised Signatory
- Named programme signatories and the issue date. These identify who issued the record and when it was placed on the Register.
- Seal & document numberEmbossed mark · 0002
- The programme seal and a sequential document number are presentation features. They are not, by themselves, proof — verification is always against the Register.
Verification
How to check a certificate
A certificate is a starting point. The authoritative status always lives on the public Register.
- 01
Read the identifiers
Note the Certificate ID and Profile ID printed on the document. Both are required to locate the underlying record.
- 02
Open the public Register
Search the Register by Profile ID. The profile shows the live status, scope and programme cycle.
- 03
Compare, don't assume
Treat the Register as authoritative. If a certificate and the Register disagree, the Register prevails.
