## About

Digital credential platform where organizations issue verifiable badges and certifications that recipients can share online

## Activity summary

Blocked in Syria. Community testing from a Syrian mobile connection in August 2026 found that badge pages under credly.com return a bare 403 Forbidden, with every page on the domain refused the same way. The separate info.credly.com host still loads, so the block is scoped to the main domain. No outreach has been made yet; Credly belongs to Pearson, which the team is already in contact with over Pearson VUE.

## Community reports

- 2026-08-22 — Investigated. Community testing from a Syrian mobile connection confirmed that Credly is blocked. Loading a badge page under credly.com returns a bare 403 Forbidden with no styling or explanation. The reporter states that every page under the credly.com domain is refused the same way, while the separate info.credly.com host continues to load normally, so the block is scoped to the main domain rather than the whole service.

## Context

These are geo-restrictions the companies applied themselves, not filtering by Syrian ISPs and not a legal requirement. US and EU sanctions on Syria were lifted in 2025. See https://unblocksyria.com/llms.txt for the regulatory summary and https://unblocksyria.com/en/about for citations to the specific orders and regulations.
