How verification works

We never show a check as "verified" unless it has a record behind it.

The process

  1. A business uploads evidence (e.g. insurance certificate, ID, company registration).
  2. The check shows as Pending while a THD reviewer looks at it.
  3. The reviewer marks it Verified (with an expiry date), Rejected or Requires action and records notes.
  4. When a check passes its expiry date it automatically shows as Expired and the badge disappears.

Prototype note: evidence upload is not connected to secure file storage yet — the prototype records a reference only. Real identity checks would use a third-party provider (REQUIRES EXTERNAL API) and need legal review.

What verification does not mean

THD verification is not a guarantee of workmanship. Always agree scope and price in writing and check credentials relevant to your job.
