Verification Outcomes & Badge Status

Overall Verification Outcomes

The material information assessed within the agreed scope is supported by the evidence reasonably available on the verification date, with no unresolved material discrepancy identified within that scope.

Core information is supported, but stated limitations, unavailable records or matters outside scope materially restrict how broadly the result should be relied upon.

One or more material inconsistencies or conflicting facts were identified within the agreed scope. A discrepancy is a verification finding; it is not by itself a finding of fraud or unlawful conduct.

Sufficient reliable evidence was not available to support the relevant point or overall verification within scope. This does not automatically mean the information is false.

Item-Level Findings

Individual elements inside a verification may have a different status from the overall outcome. This keeps the record precise and prevents one confirmed item from being mistaken for confirmation of the entire counterparty or transaction.

Confirmed — the item is supported within scope.

Unable to verify — insufficient evidence is available.

Discrepancy — information conflicts materially with another source or record.

Not assessed / outside scope — the item was not part of the agreed verification.

Verification References

Each completed verification is assigned a unique canonical reference in the format LC-YYYY-NNNNNN. The same reference follows the verification record and, where a Verified Supplier Badge is issued, appears on that badge.

Service type, internal workflow and source records are maintained separately so the public reference remains stable even if internal processes evolve.

LC-2026-000001

A reference confirms the identity of the LicenseCheck record. It does not extend or renew the verification date or scope.

Verified Supplier Badge Standard

A Verified Supplier Badge is not issued merely because a verification was purchased. Badge eligibility requires an overall outcome of Verified Within Scope, confirmation of the relevant legal entity and applicable petroleum verification within the badge scope, and no unresolved material discrepancy that would make the badge misleading.

Badges are valid for 12 months from the verification date unless earlier suspended, withdrawn, replaced or affected by a material change requiring re-verification.

Active — within the validity period and not suspended or withdrawn.

Expired — the validity period has ended and a new verification is required.

Suspended — temporarily paused while a material issue or change is reviewed.

Withdrawn — no longer authorised for display or reliance.

Replaced — superseded by a newer LicenseCheck verification/reference.

Reference Check Results

The reference corresponds to a LicenseCheck record. The original verification date, scope and current badge/reference status remain controlling.

The record matches, but the badge or reference may be expired, suspended, withdrawn or replaced. The current status should take precedence over a copied image or earlier certificate.

LicenseCheck cannot match the submitted reference and identifying details to an applicable record. This may require correction or further investigation.

Use the reference-check service for an existing LicenseCheck record. If the decision requires current or expanded due diligence, request a new verification.
