# How to claim credential from issuer

1. **Scan the QR code** provided by an issuer (for example, an event ticket or proof of purchase. You can use our [demo website](https://issuer-demo.empe.io/)).
   * Tap the scanner button in the wallet to begin.
2. Once the wallet detects that this QR code is an offer from an issuer, you will see a prompt.
3. Confirm that you want to receive the credential (e.g., tap *Claim Credential*).
4. The credential will then appear in your wallet’s list of verifiable credentials.

Once claimed, the credential appears in **Your verifiable credentials**:

Tapping on a credential shows details such as:

* The credential type
* **Status** (Active / Revoked, etc.)
* **Credential Subject** — the claim fields the credential carries (for example, first name, last name, department)

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.empe.io/user-guide/00_introduction/04_how_to_claim_credential_from_issuer.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
