Where our checks come from

We don't take a certificate at face value. Every application is matched against the official register of its own country.

What a Verita check actually involves

Collecting documents is easy. Proving they're real is the work. Every approval clears all four.

  1. 01

    The company exists

    The registration number is matched against the official register, and the certificate checked against it.

  2. 02

    We know who owns it

    Everyone above 25%, plus anyone with real control. Traced through holding companies.

  3. 03

    The applicant can act for it

    Proven by company email, a code posted to the registered address, or a callback. Without it, a scammer could pass using a real company's documents.

  4. 04

    Nothing turns up against them

    The business and its owners are screened against sanctions and adverse media.

How it works

  1. A business applies

    Registration details, ownership, and the documents their country requires.

  2. A person reviews it

    Not an algorithm. A reviewer works the checklist against the official register.

  3. The result goes public

    A public profile page, and a badge for their site showing live status.

05Verification Status4

A badge that tells the truth

The badge reads status live. It never keeps saying verified after we withdraw it.
