Certified Entity (CE)

Scenario CE name has changed (on purpose or not) and provided unique identifier can be matched

E.g. certificate renewal and name is written slightly different, company name changed completely due to merger, change of business etc.

Since we're providing the same unique identifier the system will match this ID and update the name. The old name is marked as old and going forward only the newly provided name is displayed for verification users.

If you have multiple certifications and the CE unique id is the same yet the name is different between the various certificates the last provided name is used.

Existing Certified Entity Unique ID	Existing Certified Entity Name	Uploaded Certified Entity Unique ID	Uploaded Certified Entity Name	Result
205a52a2-7536-4f43-8aab-e7a72ff34a9f	Disney INC	205a52a2-7536-4f43-8aab-e7a72ff34a9f	Disney INC.	Existing entry is overridden and newly uploaded name is displayed

Scenario CE name has changed or is the same and provided unique identifier has also changed

E.g. certificate renewal but the unique identifier isn't reused

This results in duplication as the old and the new certificate will be in the system and two entities are uploaded.
