Receiving a Badge

Receiving a Badge: After earning an Open Badge, you will receive an email from the issuer to the email address they have on file. This guide uses the Tuberoom badge as an example. Different badges and their emails may vary in appearance and content.

1. Email Notification: Click the link in the email to proceed.
2. Accept the Badge: Open Badge Passport is a convenient, free, and reliable service where you can store, organize, and share your badges on social media. You can also share the badge directly on social media by copying the share link.
3. Approve the Badge in Open Badge Passport: The badge will automatically transfer to your Open Badge Passport if your Passport account is created with the same email address to which the badge was issued. If you created or want to create an Open Badge Passport account with a different email address or social media account, add this email address to the “My Account / Email Addresses” section in Passport. You cannot receive the badge if this email address is not in the service’s records. You can accept or reject the badge. If you accept it, it will be stored in your Passport, and you can use it as needed.
