Generate your badge

Your badge, in under a minute

Place it once, where people read: a sidebar, your About page, or a Resources page. A footer on every page reads as an ad and is worth less. Enter your ID, or your name exactly as on your record; the preview and snippets update live.

The badge checks your designation every time it loads. If a credential lapses, the badge says so on its own; nothing on your site needs updating.

Preview
Option 1: paste this HTML

Works in any site builder that accepts HTML. The sentence under the badge is a plain link to your verification page; the wording is chosen for your record so no two sites read the same. Keep it, remove it, or add rel="nofollow"; the badge works either way.

Option 2: WordPress pluginDownload plugin

Upload the zip under Plugins, add your ID under Settings, then paste the shortcode anywhere. The plugin updates itself.

Bonus: live annuity rates from Annualife

Today's top MYGA rate, refreshed daily from the Annualife board. Plugin shortcode: [annualife_rates], or type="fia" for the top cap rate.

Questions

Questions about the website badge

What does the badge show?
Your name, the designation, your ID once one is issued, and the month your designation became active, with a green status mark. It links to your public verification page on the consumer site, where a visitor sees the same record straight from the issuer.
What happens if my designation lapses?
The badge stops showing you as verified within about ten minutes of the status change and reads "not currently verified" instead. It never shows a stale credential, which is what makes it worth trusting.
Do I have to keep the link under the badge?
No. The line under the badge is a plain HTML link to your verification page and to the designation explainer. Keep it, remove it, or add rel="nofollow"; the badge itself works either way.
Will it slow my website down?
No. The badge is a small frame that loads lazily after your page, adds no scripts to your site, and has a fixed size so nothing shifts. The WordPress plugin renders the same thing with one shortcode.
