January 2026 Release

Version: 1.0.1

Certificate Center enhanced Certificate Custom Fields to allow you to optionally define a set of allowed values for each enabled custom field. To support this feature, the GET /certificate-center/v1/certificates/custom-fields API response now includes an additional allowedValues property for each enabled Certificate Custom Field. The content of allowedValues lists the set of defined values, if defined. The custom field value you assign in POST /certificate-center/v1/certificate and PUT /certificate-center/v1/certificate/{uuid} for each custom field is now validated against the allowed value set.

[
  {
    "id": 1,
    "label": "Region",
    "allowedValues": [
      "Northeast",
      "Mid-Atlantic",
      "Southeast",
      "Midwest",
      "Southwest",
      "Pacific"
    ]
  },
  {
    "id": 2,
    "label": "LabelOnly",
    "allowedValues": null
  }    
]

Initial Release: September 2025

Version: 1.0.0

Vertex debuts the first release of Certificate Center Public APIs. You can now perform certain functions without needing to launch the Certificate Center UI, if you integrate your business system using Vertex REST APIs.

Your API options - Search, Create, and/or Edit - depend on the type of record.

If you create a new record or edit an existing certificate record, it automatically displays at Approved status in the Certificate Center UI.

Remember that your tax components - taxpayers and taxability drivers - must already be created in Vertex O Series before you can use the REST APIs to create records.
