The Ministry of Education of Russia wanted to mark school certificates with QR codes to protect the document from counterfeiting. The corresponding order is published on the portal of legal information.
According to the text of the order, a white field in the form of a square of 20 by 20 millimeters will appear on the back of the title page of the certificate. A two-dimensional matrix code will be put in this field. On the same side there will be a coat of arms, the inscriptions “Russian Federation” and “Certificate of basic general education”, as well as the document number and date of issue.
