License Verification
If you’re verifying a license claim, don’t rely on PDFs, screenshots, or “someone forwarded me this”. Use the official public register and check scope + conditions + status.
Reference number
Best search key. Use it first. It reduces false matches and name variations.
Scope + conditions
Scope tells you what’s recorded. Conditions tell you what’s restricted or controlled.
Status + dates
Active vs inactive + validity/renewal dates. If it’s not active, treat as unverified.
How to verify (repeatable method)
Go to registry.neveslicensingauthority.org.
Search by reference/license number (best), then legal name (preferred), then trading name (last resort).
Click the live record entry. Do not rely on screenshots or PDFs shared by third parties.
Confirm the recorded category and the listed permitted activities. If it’s not listed, don’t assume it’s included.
Review any conditions, restrictions, or license controls (if present) and interpret claims accordingly.
Validate current status and validity/renewal dates. If the status is not active, treat as unverified.
Match legal name, registered address, and identifiers against the counterparty’s documents and disclosures.
Start with the register. Then align scope language everywhere.
