Verification Charges

IAF CertSearch Verification Plans

Verification charges apply to all users, regardless of your subscription plan. Each time you access a Certificate or Certified Entity information, verification charges will be incurred.

Charges for Companies and Certifications

Each verification will incur charges for the certificate itself plus the associated entities.

  • Certification Verification

  • Company Verification

Charges for Certifications Issued to Multiple Entities

If a certificate is associated with multiple entities, verification charges will be calculated as follows:

  • 1 verification credit for the certificate itself.

  • 1 additional verification credit for each Certified Entity (CE) listed on the certificate.

Sample Breakdown of Verification Charges:

Example:

  • Certificate ID: Cert-001

  • Issued to: ABC Corporation and XYZ Inc.

Verification Charges:

  • 1 certification verification credit for the certificate itself.

  • 2 company verification credits (1 credit per entity: ABC Corporation and XYZ Inc.).

Total Verification Charges: 3 verification credits.


Exemptions

If a verified certificate is still within the grace period, no charges should apply.

Example:

Scenario: John verified CERT-001 on Sept 18, 2024.

Free Re-Verification: John can freely re-verify the certificate any time before Oct 18, 2024, without impacting his verification limit.

Post-Grace Period: If John verifies the certificate again on Oct 28, 2024, one verification will be deducted from his annual limit, as the grace period has ended.
