Check whether a doula holds a current Birth & Baby University certification. Use the certificate ID printed on the certificate, or search the public directory by name.
Use the ID printed on the certificate. This checks every certificate Birth & Baby University has issued.
Only doulas who agreed to appear in the public directory are listed here.
Certification records last checked against BBU's issuing system on 11/03/2026.
A Birth & Baby University certification is issued when a doula completes one of BBU’s doula training programs. The one-year provisional certification follows the training; the three-year full certification follows mentorship or 15 approved continuing-education units. A training enrollment on its own is not a certification.
Every certificate carries an ID in the form BBU-BD-2026-A1B2C3. The ID check covers every certificate BBU has issued, whether or not the doula appears in the name directory, and it is the check to use when a certificate itself is in doubt. It reports a certification that is current, expired, replaced or revoked.
The name search lists a doula only when the doula has agreed to appear in BBU’s public directory, and only while the certification is current. A name that is not listed does not mean the doula is not certified: use the certificate ID to check a certificate in hand.
If this page cannot reach BBU’s certification records, it says the check is unavailable. It never reports a certificate as invalid because the records could not be read.
