We are happy to provide certification verification to potential employers and will provide the verification within 72 hours of receiving a complete request. Verification for certification requests must be made in writing and include the following:

    * Certificant's full name
    * Certificant's e-mail address
    * Written verification from the certificant to allow designation information to be released to the requestor

You'll obviously get a paper copy of your certification. You'll also get a written letter of achievement.

Hordakk,

I think that H1tM0nk3y wants to confirm that the materials he's being presented are real, instead of someone that's surfed the web, and modified copies of what they found online.

I've been interviewing lately, and out of all of them only 2 asked for the ability / had a request form to get information like that. Which were part of the application process.

The place that I got an offer, didn't even ask permission to look into my education, certs, or references until after they made the offer.

As H1t M0nk3y stated, some people want to confirm the credentials before offering the interview.

From the one side, I can see how it protects people by not being able to check until they get an offer, but at the same time there are people out there claiming things like certs and education that they don't have (Not just in InfoSec).
