Home/How verification works

Every lawyer, verified before joining our network

Trust is the whole product. Before any account can delegate or accept a legal task, we confirm the person behind it is a real, currently-registered lawyer in the jurisdiction they claim.

The process

Four checks, one verified badge

STEP 01

Submit your credentials

Add your jurisdiction, bar or law-society registration number, and upload a photo ID together with your practising certificate or bar card.

STEP 02

Identity & licence check

A verification officer for your country confirms your identity and checks your registration number against the relevant bar or law-society register.

STEP 03

Jurisdiction review

We confirm you are entitled to practise where you say you are. If anything is unclear, we ask for more detail through the app before deciding.

STEP 04

Verified & ready

Once approved, your profile shows the verified badge and you can post tasks, bid on work, and collaborate. Firms are verified the same way at the organisation level.

What the badge means

A check of standing, not an endorsement

The verified badge confirms one specific thing: this lawyer holds a valid, current registration with the bar or law society of the jurisdiction shown on their profile. It is a fact we have checked — not a rating of skill and not a guarantee of any outcome.

Choosing the right colleague is still your professional judgement. Reviews, practice areas, and your own due diligence sit on top of verification — they do not replace it.

Your documents, protected

Seen only by our officers

Verification documents are encrypted and visible only to the trained review officers for your country. Every time a document is opened it is recorded in an audit trail.

Other lawyers never see your ID or certificate — only the verified badge, your name, jurisdiction, and the details you choose to publish. We never sell or repurpose verification data.

FAQ

Verification questions

Who needs to be verified?
Every lawyer and law firm on LawyerGo. An account can browse, but it cannot post a task, submit a bid, or accept work until its bar or law-society registration has been verified.
What documents do I need?
A government photo ID and proof of your current bar or law-society membership — typically a practising certificate, bar card, or registration number we can check against the relevant register for your jurisdiction.
Who can see my documents?
Only our trained verification officers for your country. Documents are encrypted, access is logged in an audit trail, and they are never shown to other lawyers or used for anything other than verification.
How long does it take?
Most reviews are completed within one to two business days. If we need anything else, we will ask through the app and your status stays "in review" until it is resolved.
What does the verified badge mean?
It means we have confirmed the lawyer holds a valid registration with the bar or law society of the jurisdiction shown. It is a check of standing — not an endorsement of the outcome of any matter.
