STAY PROTECTED

If a Certificate Doesn't Check Out

If our team cannot confirm a certificate, or finds details that don't match our records, we'll tell you directly — and we take reports of misuse seriously. Forward anything suspicious to our registry team rather than relying on the document alone.

Report a Suspicious Certificate
  • Always cross-check the certificate number against this verification tool before relying on it commercially.
  • Genuine certificates carry a unique reference, a class seal, and a verification code — never accept a photocopy without checking the original.
  • Our registry team will never ask you to pay a fee specifically to "unlock" or "release" a verification result.
  • When in doubt, contact our office directly using the phone number on this site rather than one printed on the document.
COMMON QUESTIONS

Verification FAQs

Answers to what shipowners, charterers, and port authorities ask most.

Yes. The vessel's IMO number alone is usually enough for our registry team to locate the relevant certificates. Adding the vessel name speeds up the match if the IMO number isn't to hand either.

Most requests are confirmed within one business day. For time-sensitive situations, such as a vessel awaiting port clearance, call our office and we'll prioritise a manual check.

Yes. Our confirmation response states the certificate's current status — active, expired, suspended, or withdrawn — along with the date of the last class action taken, where applicable.

Absolutely. This tool is open to anyone who needs to confirm a document's authenticity — shipowners, charterers, port state control officers, insurers, and financiers are all welcome to use it.

No. Certificate verification is a free service provided to anyone relying on a Blue Wave Class document. We will never request payment in exchange for confirming a certificate's status.

Submit it through this tool and also email our registry team directly at info@bwclass.org with photos or scans of the document. We investigate every report of suspected forgery or misuse of our name.
