Check a Contribution ID
This checker reads the DGS verification register. It does not infer identity, employment, immigration status or skills beyond what a named organisation has signed off.
Verify a Contribution ID
Every verified DGS contribution record carries a Contribution ID. Enter it to see the activity, the host organisation, the role, the hours and the organisation that signed it off.
No account is needed. An employer or a university has to be able to check a record without signing in, which is the whole point of the register being public.
Exactly three things
The organisation and the role
The named organisation, the role the hours were given in, and the activity they were recorded against.
The hours and the date
How many hours the record covers, and when the activity took place.
Which organisation signed it off, and when
A record is not confirmed until the organisation it was given to has signed it off. The checker names that organisation — never an individual — and until then says so rather than guessing.
The limits, stated plainly
- It is not a reference or a character assessment.
- It is not a credential, qualification or identity check.
- It says nothing about immigration status or the right to work.
