A record of your employment, confirmed by the people who were there, held by you — and shown to no one without your say-so.
Free for people. Companies pay only when you approve.
The record is rented, never owned.
Confirmed once. Held by you.
Your identity is verified once. Your employers confirm what you said. After that, the only work left is deciding who gets to see it.
Verify your identity once, with your document. Everything else rests on this, so it comes first.
See the screen →Employer, role, dates — and who there can confirm it. No paperwork from you; the confirmation comes from them.
See the screen →They get an email, open a link, and confirm or correct what you said. No account needed on their side.
See the screen →A company asks; you approve or decline. Or set a rule once for verified companies and let it answer for you.
See the screen →A verified record proves you did the work. Who gets to see it is a separate question, and the answer is always yours. A company that wants your record has to ask — and pays nothing if you say no.
They can see that your record exists, that it was confirmed, and by whom. They cannot read it.
Your Official goes on your CV, in your signature, or on your own website. Whoever finds it reaches exactly one profile — yours — and still has to ask.
A badge and an identifier that resolve to your profile. It says a verified profile exists — not what is in it. That part still needs your approval.
Get the badge →Publish it on a site you own. The verified block is rendered by Official and can’t be edited or restyled by the page — the rest of the page is yours.
See an example →Find a person by name, or by the Official ID on their CV. See that their identity is verified, how many records they hold and how each was confirmed — then request access.
Employer names, titles and dates are shown once the person approves.
It takes about a minute, needs no account, and you can confirm what they said, correct the dates or title, or tell us you can’t confirm it. What you confirm is shown only to people the person themselves approves.
A verified person, and a record of what they did that others can rely on without checking again from scratch.
The genuine article rather than the copy — the same idea applied to things instead of people.
A real relationship between a real person and a real organisation, which needs both to be verifiable first.
Free for people. Confirmed by the people who were there. Shown to no one without your say-so.
