Why this exists
A real credential is one anyone can verify.
For most of the sunless industry's history, a "certification" was a PDF — something an artist could claim, but nobody could check. NSTPA introduced a searchable license database to change that. Every graduate gets a unique Certification ID and a public profile page anyone can verify in seconds.
Who uses the database
Three groups. One trust signal.
For clients
Confirm your tech is the real deal.
Ask your spray tan artist for the Certification ID, or scan the QR. See their training, specialties, and how to book.
For graduates
Build your professional profile.
Add a photo, your studio details, social links, and a booking URL. Share the verification page anywhere — passive trust signal that books clients.
For salon owners
Hire trained, not claimed.
When hiring a spray tan tech, ask for their NSTPA ID. A 5-second search prevents a 5-month liability.
