Verification Certificate

Understand your Osapher Verification Certificate — what it proves, how the VRNT signature works, and how to share it.

What is a Verification Certificate

A Osapher Verification Certificate is issued when your business identity has been verified against a government registry — the Australian Business Register (ABR) or New Zealand Business Number (NZBN) register — and your Identity Trust Score reaches 80 or above.

The certificate is publicly accessible at a unique URL and contains your verified business details, audit hash, and VRNT signature. It can be shared with clients, partners, or embedded in proposals as proof of verified identity.

Certification threshold
Your business must achieve an Identity Trust Score of 80 or above to receive a Verification Certificate. Scores below 80 will not generate a certificate.

The VRNT Signature

Every Osapher Verification Certificate includes a VRNT signature — a unique identifier generated at the time of verification. It is embedded in your deployed JSON-LD schema as a PropertyValue node:

"identifier": {
  "@type": "PropertyValue",
  "propertyID": "https://osapher.com/vocab/verintySignature",
  "value": "VRNT-a5a961d83a042d6d8f3e1b7c..."
}

The signature is derived from your domain, legal name, ABN or NZBN, and audit ID. It is tamper-evident — any modification to the underlying business identity data invalidates the signature.

What It Proves

  • Your business is registered and active on the ABR or NZBN register
  • Your business identity data was verified at a specific point in time
  • The deployed schema has not been modified since verification
  • The certificate was issued by Osapher, not self-reported

Sharing Your Certificate

Your certificate is publicly accessible at:

https://osapher.com/verify/[your-audit-id]

Share this URL with clients, include it in proposals, or link to it from your website. Anyone visiting the URL can verify your business identity independently.

Finding your certificate URL
Your certificate URL is shown in the Core Audit tab under the Verification Certificate section. It is also embedded in your deployed schema under the Certification node.

Certificate Expiry

Verification Certificates are valid for 90 days from the date of issue. After expiry, run a new scan and Sync & Deploy from your Entity Vault to renew your certificate. Your previous certificate data is preserved — only the expiry date is updated.
