Frequently asked questions

Straight answers about how our verification works, what to expect, and how to get started.

What does "primary source" actually mean?

It means we confirm a record directly with the institution that issued or holds it — the employer, the university or examination body, the Corporate Affairs Commission — rather than relying on a third-party database, a candidate's self-reported documents, or an aggregator several steps removed from the original source. If we can't confirm something at the source, we tell you; we don't fill the gap with an inference.

How long does a verification take?

It depends on the type of check. Direct-source checks — employment, education, corporate standing, and digital footprint — are typically our fastest, though timing still depends on how quickly the institution itself responds.

Managed government applications — such as a Police Character Certificate, a birth certificate, or a driver's licence — move on official processing timelines that no verification company controls. We file and track these, and we give you a realistic timeline upfront rather than promising instant results.

What happens if a record can't be confirmed?

We report exactly that. Our report states what was confirmed and by whom — and where a record could not be verified at the source, we say so plainly. We never present an unconfirmed record as verified.

Do you need the subject's consent?

Yes. Subject data is handled with consent and confidentiality at every step. Where consent is required for a check, we do not proceed without it, and clients confirm they have obtained the necessary consent before submitting a request. You can read more in our Privacy Policy.

Which checks are live today, and which aren't?

Live now (direct source): employment history, education credentials, goodstanding, and digital & media footprint. Managed government applications: criminal record, birth certificate, and driver's licence.

We're honest about what we don't offer yet: health record verification and credit score checks are in development — there's no established compliant channel for health records in-market today, and credit checks legally require a licensed credit bureau subscription we don't yet hold. We list these as unavailable rather than imply a capability we don't have.

Where do you operate?

We operate across seventeen African countries — Nigeria (our home base), Kenya, Uganda, Ghana, Tanzania, Gambia, South Africa, Cameroon, Benin, Togo, Ethiopia, Niger, Somalia, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Senegal, and Somaliland — verifying records directly with issuing authorities in each, and we're growing.

How much does a verification cost?

[PRICING — e.g. per-check pricing, packages, or "we scope and quote each request individually." Tell me how you want to present this and I'll write it.]

In the meantime: tell us what you need checked and we'll follow up with scope, timeline, and pricing — no obligation.

How do I get started?

Send us a request through the contact form with who or what needs verifying and which checks you need. We reply within 1 business day with scope, timeline, and pricing.
