INTRODUCTION TO DIGITARY CORE
From the summer of 2024, DBS official transcripts will be issued directly through Digitary CORE, a trusted international verified digital credential platform*. Digitary CORE ensures document authenticity. When transcripts, credentials, and any other documents are issued through Digitary CORE, they are verifiable, secure, and include a cryptographic signature.
Digitary CORE documents are both legally valid and tamper evident. The platform utilises advanced cryptographic hardware and banking-level security to produce and certify digital records, compliant international legal and privacy standards. Digitary CORE utilises advanced electronic signatures which are compliant with EU Digital Signatures Directive 1999/93/EC and national enacting legislation.
Digitary CORE allows you to be in complete control over your certified credential documents. Your documents can only be accessed by people you authorise. The simple online interface enables you to share your documents with as many or as few people as you like for as long as you like. You can control and regulate access, whilst being able to see who is viewing the documents you are sharing.

FOR RECRUITERS/EMPLOYERS
How can I check a person’s academic documents using Digitary?
To verify a learner’s Digitary-enabled documents, the Learner needs to share them with you. The simplest way to do this is to ask the Learner to generate a ‘URL share’ – this is a unique URL that starts with “https://core.digitary.net” and points to the trusted Digitary CORE portal. The URL can be emailed directly to you from the Digitary CORE portal, or the learner can send it to you directly. Always make sure that the URL starts with “https://core.digitary.net”, or, for institutions still using Digitary’s older platform, starts with the URL of the issuing institution.
