For professional bodies and licensing organisations
Make professional status easy to prove
and difficult to misunderstand.
Memberships renew. Licences lapse. Standing can be revoked. Arrota records each state so a verifier can see whether standing is current.
The lifecycle you actually run
Status changes remain on the record.
A licence over time
Renewals supersede; lapses expire visibly. The history is the licence’s character reference.
When it goes wrong
The credential leaves public verification. Its lifecycle history remains available to the holder and authorised organisation users.
Records a professional body keeps
The register, made checkable.
Memberships
Grades, classes, and standing with renewal cycles attached.
Licences
Practising rights with validity periods and renewal history.
Certifications
Professional qualifications the body itself awards.
Continuing education
CPD and CE completions, where supported, connected to the credentials they sustain.
Charters and designations
Professional distinctions that can be checked directly from the Source.
Standing records
Current status as a first-class fact, not a PDF that was true once.
Renewal, expiry, revocation
Manage renewal, expiry, and revocation.
A new record, linked to the old
A renewal supersedes the previous licence while keeping both records connected in History.
Lapsed, not erased
Verifiers see the expired Status and the date validity ended.
Withdrawn from public verification
Revoked standing is no longer returned publicly. Its History remains available in authorised Arrota views.
Your questions answered
Frequently asked questions.
Can renewals happen automatically?
Renewals can be issued from the dashboard or, where implemented, through an API workflow. Each new licence can link to the record it replaces.
What happens when a member’s record is revoked?
It leaves public verification. The revoked status, relevant dates and history remain available to the holder and authorised organisation users.
Can CPD records connect to the credentials they renew?
Where supported, continuing-education completions sit alongside the licences they sustain, in the holder’s vault.
Can we run our whole register on this?
Arrota supports the record workflow for issuance, renewal, expiry, revocation, and public Status. Governance of the register remains with your organisation.
Can members keep evidence after leaving the register?
Yes. Claimed records remain in the member’s Vault, while the issuing body continues to control the Status and issuer-confirmed fields of records it issued.
Can the public check a member’s current Status without an account?
Yes. Published records can show their Source, current Status and permitted details through a public verification link.
How are corrections recorded?
Corrections are added as dated History events. The current record updates without erasing the state that existed before the change.
