One or more digital credential templates may be received by a digital credential platform server, from template owner systems. Template owners may correspond to entities responsible for controlling the content and definition of a digital credential, such as an educational institution or other professional training organization. The digital credential platform server receives and coordinates requests and responses between the digital credential template owners and a set of digital credential issuers, to determine which digital credential issuers are authorized to issue digital credential based on which digital credential templates. After receiving authorization data from a template owner permitting a particular digital credential issuer to issue digital credentials based on one or more particular digital credential templates, the digital credential platform server may provide the authorized issuers with access to the particular digital credential templates and the functionality to generate (or issue) new digital credentials to users based on any of the particular digital credential templates.
