Verification is not a one-time event.
Trust must be continuously earned. Every E-Validated business moves through the same six-stage standard, then stays under continuous monitoring.
Apply
The business submits legal, operational, ownership, and digital information.
Verify
E-Validating independently checks the legal entity, authorised representatives, domain, licences, website, policies, and other evidence.
Approve
Qualified businesses receive an active E-Validated status, live badge, and public trust profile.
Monitor
Digital and trust-related indicators are continuously monitored.
Protect
Consumers can verify businesses and submit grievances.
Renew
Verification is periodically reassessed.
Five statuses. One clear meaning each.
The primary verification outcome is always a status — never a subjective score.
The business has completed independent, evidence-based verification and remains subject to continuous monitoring. Verification is active as of the displayed date.
The business has not successfully completed the E-Validating verification process. This does not automatically mean unsafe.
An application or reassessment is in progress. No verification outcome has been published.
Verification has been temporarily withdrawn pending outstanding evidence, responses, or unresolved validated matters.
Verification has been withdrawn. Matters may be referred to appropriate channels where applicable.
