Everything you need to know about verifying your US business
Verified.us.com is a business verification service that confirms US-based companies have a legitimate physical presence, proper legal registration, and comply with US regulations. We help consumers identify trustworthy businesses and help legitimate companies stand out from fraudulent competitors.
In today's digital landscape, anyone can create a professional-looking website. Verification proves to your customers that:
Any legally registered business with a physical presence in the United States can apply. This includes LLCs, Corporations, Sole Proprietorships, and Partnerships. You must have legitimate incorporation documents, a physical US address (not a PO Box or mail forwarding service), and operational contact methods.
Typically 7-14 business days from application to approval. The timeline includes document review (1-2 days), our multi-layered verification process including physical mail delivery (5-10 days), and final approval (1-2 days). Timeline may vary based on documentation completeness and USPS delivery times.
You'll need to provide:
Yes. We conduct unscheduled phone calls at random times to verify your business operates from the stated address. This helps us detect call forwarding to offshore operations. Be prepared to answer questions about your business and confirm authorized representatives.
Coworking spaces with a physical office assignment may qualify, but pure virtual offices and mail forwarding services do not. You must be able to receive physical mail at the location and have actual operational presence there. We verify against databases of known virtual office providers.
Initial verification is $499 (one-time fee) which includes your first year. Annual renewal is $249/year and includes full re-verification and ongoing monitoring. No hidden fees, no setup charges.
We accept all major credit cards (Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover) and ACH bank transfers for US businesses.
No. The $499 fee covers extensive manual work including document review, database lookups, phone calls, physical mail, and fraud detection analysis. However, if you're a legitimate US business with proper documentation, you should have no trouble passing verification.
Once verified, you receive:
We provide you with badge HTML code, image files, and implementation instructions. Simply copy and paste the code into your website. The badge links to your public verification page on our site, allowing customers to confirm your verified status.
Your verification badge will be deactivated and removed from our public database. Your listing will show as "expired" and the badge on your website will no longer function. To regain verified status, you'll need to go through the full verification process again at the $499 rate.
Yes. We continuously monitor verified businesses. Verification can be immediately revoked for fraudulent activity, business closure, loss of good standing, failure to maintain US presence, or customer complaints indicating deceptive practices. You'll be notified before revocation except in cases of fraud.
Each physical location requires separate verification since we verify the physical presence at each address. Contact us for volume pricing if you have 5+ locations to verify.
Contact us immediately if you change your business address, legal name, or ownership structure. These changes may require re-verification. Minor changes (phone number, email) can be updated through your dashboard.
Your public verification page displays business name, location (city/state), verification date, and verification status. Detailed documentation, financial information, and personal details remain private. Consumers can verify you're legitimate without exposing sensitive data.
