AWS strongly suggests that the certification identity be verified with a government issued photo identification card, such as a driver’s license.

How to interpret the Certification number to determine the level of certification:

Key 1 = CWI 2 = CAWI eligible for upgrade* 3 = cwi by upgrade* 4 = CAWI 5 = CWI through CWSIP 7 = CWI through Reciprocity 8 = SCWI E = CWE G = CWENG I = SIE/Endorsement N = CRI O = CRAWO R = CWSR S = CWS T = CRAWT

CAUTION: AWS QC1:2007, Standard for AWS Certification of Welding Inspectors, section 4.4 states:

4.4 The CAWI shall be able to perform inspections, under the direct supervision of a SCWI or CWI within visible and audible range, and as defined for the AWI as in AWS B5.1, Specification for the Qualification of Welding Inspectors. It is the SCWI or CWI, however, who has responsibility for certifying that welded assemblies conform to workmanship and acceptance criteria.
