Brand protection
Verified means verified.
LinkCode protects reserved names and issues public verification only after evidence is reviewed. A marketing or affiliate relationship never creates a verification badge.
1. Establish control
An organization begins with its legal and public identity, then proves control of an official domain through a time-limited DNS or hosted-file challenge.
2. Support the claim
Business, trademark or delegation evidence is stored privately. It is never served from a public bucket or returned by the public verification API.
3. Independent review
Claims remain pending until an authorized reviewer makes a recorded decision. Conflicts, disputes and higher-risk claims require escalation rather than automatic approval.
4. Public proof
An active certification has a unique public record with its organization name, type, issue date and expiry. Suspended, revoked or expired records are never presented as active.
