Independently verify petroleum retail license information, the license-holder identity and the underlying company before relying on a retailer or service-station counterparty.

Why Verification Matters

A Retail License Must Make Sense in the Operating Context

A retail license copy on its own does not establish that every company, site, operator or transaction claim around it is correct.

Independent verification helps determine whether the retailer, legal entity and relevant license information align before you invest, contract, finance or transact.

Entity Mismatch

The company presenting or relying on the license may not match the recorded license holder or contracting entity.

Site & Retail Mismatch

Retail and site information may be presented together even where the entities, premises or regulatory roles do not align.

Transaction Risk

Ownership, operator, banking, lease or commercial claims may require separate supporting evidence.

Verification Scope

What We Verify

01 — Company & CIPC

The legal entity, registration information and relevant CIPC details are established as a standard component of every verification.

02 — Retail License Information

Key petroleum retail license information and license-holder details are assessed within the defined verification scope.

03 — Retail, Site & Entity Consistency

Relevant company, retailer and site information is checked for material consistency where it forms part of the requested scope.

04 — Supporting Checks Where Required

Ownership, operator, site, supplier and supporting commercial information can be assessed where included in the agreed scope.

Turnaround Options

Standard or Priority Verification

Standard verification: targeted for completion within 24 working hours once the required information and scope are confirmed.

Priority verification: expedited handling, targeted for the same business day or approximately five working hours where the scope and information allow.

Turnaround targets depend on the information available, verification scope and third-party record accessibility.

Important

LicenseCheck is an independent verification service. It does not issue, renew, approve, amend or guarantee petroleum licenses, permits, suppliers or transactions.

A verification outcome reduces information risk within a defined scope; it is not a guarantee of future conduct, solvency, product availability or contractual performance.
