How do I verify an earned badge using BadgeCheck.io?

BadgeCheck.io enables the verification of both badges and their recipients. The verification process for badges is binary, meaning that all data within a badge must pass validation in order for it to be deemed a legitimate Open Badge. This encompasses details regarding the issuer, badge award, and recipient. If any of these elements cannot be verified, the badge will be marked as invalid, regardless of the accuracy of other information contained within it.
