What Drives Us

Mission & vision

Africa has a verification gap — forged documents, unverifiable claims, and guesswork stand in for real due diligence. We built ClearTrace to close it, one confirmed record at a time.

Our Mission

To close Africa's verification gap by replacing guesswork and unverifiable claims with direct confirmation from the source — giving employers, institutions, and individuals a single point of truth they can act on with confidence.

Our Vision

A pan-African standard for trust, where a credential, a record, or a reputation can be verified with the same rigor anywhere on the continent — and where "verified by ClearTrace" means exactly what it says.

Process

How a verification request works

Simple to start, transparent throughout — you'll always know which stage a request is in.

1

Submit a request

Tell us who or what needs verifying and which checks you need.

2

We reach the source

We contact the institution or file the official application directly — no shortcuts, no aggregated guesses.

3

You get status updates

Direct-source checks return quickly; managed applications are tracked with realistic timelines.

4

Receive your report

A clear, confidential report stating exactly what was confirmed and by whom.

Why ClearTrace

We'd rather say less and mean it

The verification industry has a credibility problem — vague claims, aggregated data sold as "verified." We're building the opposite.

Primary source, no exceptions

If we can't confirm something at the source, we say so — we don't fill the gap with an inference.

Honest turnaround times

Direct-source checks and government-managed applications move at different speeds. We tell you which is which upfront.

Confidential by default

Subject data is handled with consent and confidentiality at every step of the process.
