How Long Verification Remains Valid
Most verified credentials remain valid permanently on your Tutor.cv profile. However, time-bound credentials like teaching licenses or certifications with expiry dates will need re-verification after expiration. Academic degrees, diplomas, and historical experience verifications remain valid indefinitely.
Three Types of Verification Validity
Understanding how long different credential types remain verified.
Permanent Verification

Time-Bound Credentials
Certifications with expiry dates require re-verification after expiration.
- Teaching licenses
- CPR/First aid
- Background checks
- Some certifications
Periodic Updates
Some credentials benefit from periodic re-verification to show currency.
- Experience claims
- Current employment
- Active licenses
Best Practices for Maintaining Verification
Keep your verified profile current and comprehensive with these recommended practices.
Track Expiration Dates
Keep a record of when time-bound credentials expire so you can renew and re-verify proactively.
Update Experience Annually
Add new experience and achievements each year to show ongoing professional development.
Maintain Current ID
Ensure your government ID is current. Update your profile when you renew your ID.
Add New Certifications
As you earn new credentials, add and verify them to keep your profile comprehensive.
Expiration Notifications
Tutor.cv tracks expiration dates for time-bound credentials and notifies you before they expire, giving you time to renew and re-verify.
Common Questions
Do I need to re-verify my degree?
No. Academic degrees are permanent credentials and remain verified on your profile indefinitely. Once verified, your degree badge stays active as long as you maintain your Tutor.cv profile.
What happens when a teaching license expires?
When a time-bound credential like a teaching license expires, your profile will display the verification as 'Expired.' You can submit your renewed license for re-verification to restore the active verified status.
Can I voluntarily re-verify old credentials?
Yes. If you want to show that an older credential is still current (for example, updating experience claims), you can submit new documentation for re-verification at any time.
Is there a cost for re-verification?
Re-verification uses the same verification credits as initial verification. If you have available credits, re-verification is included. Additional credits can be purchased if needed.
What about identity verification?
Identity verification through government ID remains valid as long as the ID document itself is valid. If your ID expires and you submit a new one, we verify the new document automatically.
