Verification explained

What verified means on Tradelynx

Tradelynx verification helps confirm identity and account legitimacy before marketplace access. It supports safer routing and accountability.

The short version

“Verified” means required platform checks were completed for account access at the time of verification.

It is a statement about checks that happened, on a date. It is not a promise about the future, and we would rather say so here than let you assume otherwise.

What is checked

The checks performed on a trader account

Identity

Identity verification checks for trader accounts.

Documents

Account-level compliance checks including required documents.

Status

Status lifecycle tracking (pending, verified, review required).

Audit

Audit visibility for significant verification state changes.

The limits

What verification does not mean

The part most platforms leave out, in the same size type as the rest.

It is not a guarantee of the work

Verification does not guarantee workmanship, pricing, or future conduct. Customers should still review scope, cost, and suitability before agreeing work.

Regulated trades: check the scheme yourself

For regulated trades (gas, electrical, asbestos), customers should independently confirm the trader holds a current, valid registration with the relevant scheme (e.g. Gas Safe Register, NICEIC) before work begins. Tradelynx checks that documentation has been presented but does not warrant its ongoing validity or authenticity.

Our standards page sets out each check, who performs it, how often it is repeated, and the audit trail behind it.
