We had several instances in the past of people faking Certificates of Captive breeding from our facility in Dubai in order to try to obtain Export CITES permits. The security code prevented this as the UAE CITES authority contacted us and asked us to confirm if the Certificate of Captive breeding was genuine. We were able to show that it was not since the security number was not valid.
These can be checked using this menu option:
This will bring up a form into which you enter the details for it to validate the code:
