Verify a Credential — American Trade Certification

Search the Public Registry

Enter the certificate number printed on the credential, or the holder's full name. Verification is free and requires no account.

Certificate number or holder name

Format example: ATC-[CRED]-[YY]-[NNNNN]. Search is case insensitive and matches partial names.

What the registry returns

For each match, the registry shows:

Holder name as it appears on the credential.
Credential earned (e.g., Certified Electrical Apprentice).
Certificate number.
Issue date and expiration date.
Status: active, expired, or revoked.

The registry does not publish personal contact information, scores, exam form, or date of birth. If you need to confirm additional details about a candidate, contact the registrar.

Why a credential might not appear

The certificate number may be mistyped. Double-check digits and dashes.
The credential may have been revoked for cause; revoked entries appear with a "Revoked" status, not as missing.
The credential may have been issued by a different body. ATC only registers credentials issued by ATC.
