# How to claim a third party certificate

These badges, diplomas, or certifications are backed by a company that uses TheBadge's Dapp to issue and distribute them. This means that in order to receive a third-party badge or certificate you must first be in direct contact with the company.

### Steps to claim your third-party badge:

1. Go to your email inbox and look for an email coming from TheBadge (<hello@thebadge.xyz>)
2. Open the email and it should look like this!

   * You will be directed to TheBadge's app
