How verify works

What does Last checked mean on AgentProof verify?

Last checked is the date from a successful recheck on the same AgentProof certificate and the same verify URL. It shows that the person recently passed one live task again. It does not change level, earned date, or certificate ID. A weak recheck changes nothing on the page; wait 24 hours before trying again.

Last checked vs earned date

Earned date Last checked
What it is When the certificate was first earned from a full assessment When a later recheck passed
How you get it Full assessment (~15 minutes) with an invite Optional recheck (~3 minutes; one live task from results)
Level Sets the earned level (L1 to L4) Never moves level up or down
URL Creates the certificate and /v/{id} Keeps the same certificate and URL

What a good recheck does

On a pass:

  • Sets or updates Last checked on the same certificate
  • Keeps the same verify URL
  • Leaves earned date and level unchanged
  • Does not create a second badge or a public level history

What a weak recheck does

On a weak result:

  • Nothing changes on the verify page (no new Last checked, no level drop)
  • Wait 24 hours before you try again
  • The certificate stays valid (it does not expire)

You do not lose the certificate. You simply retry later if you want a Last checked date. Expiration facts: Does an AgentProof certificate expire?.

If you want a higher level

Recheck will not raise your level. Take the full assessment with a new invite. That issues a new certificate ID and a new /v/{id}. The old verify URL stays as it was unless you hide it from results.
