    What a valid record shows

    What you see when a certificate checks out

    A valid lookup returns the record exactly as it was issued, so you can match it against the operator standing in front of you and file it with your training records.

    • Operator name

      The full legal name the certificate was issued to. It must match the person's ID and your roster.

    • Course and classes covered

      Self-paced online formal instruction for Powered Industrial Truck classes 1-6 under 29 CFR 1910.178(l).

    • Issue date

      The day the operator passed the written evaluation and the record was created.

    • Expiry date

      Three years from issue. Anything past that date shows as expired and needs refresher training.

    • Certificate number

      The OO-XXXXXXXX-NNNN number printed on the wallet card (older cards read OSHA-YYYY-XXXXXX) — it should match the card character for character.

    If it does not verify

    No record found — what now

    A failed lookup does not always mean the card is fake. Work through these in order.

    1. 01

      Re-enter the number carefully. The format is OO-6AA1F6F6-4821 (older cards read OSHA-2026-784291) — a 0 read as an O, or a missing character, is the most common cause. You can also scan the QR code on the card.

    2. 02

      Check who issued it. Our lookup only covers certificates issued by OSHA Operator. A card from another provider has to be verified with that provider.

    3. 03

      Ask for the emailed certificate. Every operator receives a PDF the day they pass; it carries the same certificate number.

    4. 04

      Email us the number and the operator's name. We confirm records manually, usually the same business day.

    If an operator cannot produce a verifiable certificate, they should not run a powered industrial truck until training is completed and documented.
