A credential, license, or identity that has validoitua has passed the necessary checks and is considered credible within the relevant framework. The exact steps to validoitua can vary by domain, but typically involve some combination of identity verification, policy or rule compliance, and, where appropriate, cryptographic validation.

It is primarily used in Finnish language discourse and is not commonly employed as a product name or in English-language literature. When translated for international audiences, validoitua is usually rendered as “to be validated” or “to obtain validation,” depending on tense and voice.
