What is an MVAS certificate?

The MVAS 99 describes the expertise needed for traffic safety at road works in Germany. After suitable training, participants receive a certificate – often called the “MVAS certificate”. Clients ask for it when a person responsible for traffic safety has to be named.

What the MVAS.io certificate shows

  • Participant nameAs entered when booking.
  • Training and basisTraffic safety at road works per RSA 21 and MVAS 99, topics covered.
  • Date and numberIssue date and a unique certificate number.
  • QR codeLeads straight to the public verification page.

How long is it valid?

The MVAS 99 itself sets no fixed expiry date for certificates. Regulations do change, though – most recently with the RSA 21 replacing the RSA 95. That is why regular refresher training is recommended, and many clients expect up-to-date proof.

MVAS.io certificates therefore state a recommended refresher after 2 years. We remind you by email in good time – companies see all upcoming dates in their company account.

How clients verify the certificate

  1. Scan the QR codeOr open mvas.io/verify and enter the number.
  2. See the statusValid, expired or revoked – with name and date.
  3. DoneNo phone call, no login, around the clock.

The verification page only shows what is needed. Forged or altered PDFs are spotted immediately, because the data comes from our system, not from the file.
