A computer-implemented certificate verification method includes: obtaining, by a certificate verification module, at least two images of a certificate, in which the at least two images are acquired under different acquisition conditions; obtaining, from the at least two images, at least two target images that correspond to respective images of the at least two images and that each include an image of a light-reflective coating of the certificate; and determining, based on the at least two target images, a probability that the certificate is an original.
