Online Business Verification Service

Business verification is the process of confirming that a business is legitimate, operational, and trustworthy. CertifyUSA uses a combination of automated checks and human review to verify business identity, online presence, customer reviews, and compliance. The result is a real-time verified trust badge that anyone can check.

Verification confirms facts about your business (it exists, it is registered, it has a real address). Certification goes further — it evaluates your business against specific standards and issues a formal credential. CertifyUSA combines both: we verify your business facts and certify you against trust standards, all in one process.

The Trust Score is a dynamic rating from 60 to 100 that reflects how thoroughly verified your business is. It is displayed on your badge and updates in real-time as you complete verification actions. The score is divided into four tiers: Foundation (60–74), Established (75–84), Verified (85–92), and Elite (93–100). Higher scores mean more customer confidence.

For basic Trust Score verification, you only need your business name, address, website URL, and email. For higher-tier verification, you may need to upload your business registration, EIN documentation, or industry-specific licenses. Our application guides you through exactly what is needed for each certification type.

Automated checks (website, SSL, social profiles) run instantly. Business identity verification typically completes within 24 hours. Full verification with document review takes 24–48 hours. Elite tier requires a human review which may take 3–5 business days.

Yes. Every CertifyUSA badge links to a public verification page on certifyusa.org. When a customer clicks your badge, they see your verified business profile, Trust Score, certification types, and verification date. It is instant, transparent proof that your business has been reviewed.
