Simple and straightforward
How we verify information
We check official sources where they exist and review paperwork where it is needed. The confirmed results appear on your Verification Record. It usually takes minutes, not weeks.

From identifying what applies to publishing a clear result customers can check.
1. Add what applies
We use trusted sources or paperwork, as appropriate.
2. We check the source
Against an official record wherever possible.
3. A person reviews it
Anything unclear is checked by a trained reviewer.
4. Your record stays current
Confirmed checks appear with dates and expiry reminders.
The sort of things we check
You'll only ever be asked for what's relevant to your trade and where you work. If it doesn't apply to you, we won't ask for it.
What happens to what you send
Your paperwork stays private
Nothing you send is published. Customers only ever see that an item was confirmed, and when.
Used once, for one thing
Paperwork is only ever used to confirm the check you sent it for. Nothing else.
You can see everything
Your Verification Centre shows the status of every item and exactly what, if anything, is outstanding.
No penalty for trying again
If something isn't accepted first time, just send another. There's no limit, no fee and no black mark.
Why it's worth it
What this gives you
Checked by us, not claimed
No business confirms its own details. We check them, against the official source wherever one exists.
Based on something real
A tick means we independently confirmed the fact through an official or trusted source, or by assessing paperwork — not a claim, review or paid placement.
Kept up to date
Expiry dates are tracked, so what you read today reflects what's valid today.
Honest about the gaps
Anything not yet confirmed says so openly, so nothing is hidden by leaving it out.
