FAQ

How to See if My Certification Has Been Approved

  1. While logged into SwiftComply, go to the Service Providers tab on the left navigation panel.

  2. Click your Service Provider Company record you'd like to review.

  3. Click the Users tab to see a list of users associated with your Service Provider company.

  4. Scroll until you find your name, and view the "Status" column. If the status is Approved, your certification has been approved by your city/organzation.

Can I Update a Certification of Another User?

No, each Tester will need to log into their own account and update their certifications, even if they're not submitting their own tests.

Who should I reach out to if my Certification Hasn't Been Approved?

If you've been waiting more than 2-3 business days for your certification to be approved, reach out to your city/regulator directly. They will be able to go into the system and approve your certification.

Should I update my certification or should I add a new one?

As a best practice, the SwiftComply team recommends updating your certification record instead of adding a new record when possible. The only time you'll need to add in a new certification record is if your certification number changes, or if it's a different certification type.
