Abstract:
As the name specifies “DOCUMENT AND CERTIFICATE VERIFICATION SYSTEM FOR SCHOOLS” is a software developed to automate and digitize the process of adding certificates and verifying the certificate records considering the challenges involved in doing this manually. The manual process of issuance of degree certificates from schools was studies, as well as the stressful procedures of validating the originality of issued certificates was also reviewed. Considering the certificate issuance system of Mountain top University, this research work reviewed the procedures involved in obtaining certificates from the school admin and subsequently designed a system to solver the identified gaps in obtaining and verifying degree certificates by past students of the institutions. It has easy maintenance of information as well as time saving and reduction in operation. While the backend of the system was created using PHP, the front end was made using HTML and CSS. The result is a user-friendly, interactive system with menus that delivers timely and accurate information
about certificates. The certificate operations are documented, saved, and retrievable at any time using a database management system. Users must log in before and after any certificate is added or printed, which further increases security for the system. This specific project addresses the issues with managing a student certificate while avoiding the issues that arise when doing things manually.
