Stodacom Verified Profile

Prove facts about yourself to an employer

A Verified Profile lets someone prove facts about themselves to an employer. Each fact is checked by Stodacom staff — not by the person — and every check is permanently recorded.

How verification works

Three simple steps

Each fact is checked by Stodacom staff — not by the person — and every check is permanently recorded.

1

The person adds their claims

Their ID, qualifications, work history, address, licence and references, with supporting documents.

2

Stodacom verifies each one

A trained verifier checks it against the document or the original source and records the method and date.

3

They share it with you

Through a private link, share code or QR code — showing only what they chose, only while the link is live.

What we check

What we check, and how often

Every item is verified against the document or original source, with a permanent audit trail.

Identity

The government ID the person holds — read on our own servers, its machine-readable zone check digits validated — plus a live video or selfie matched to the ID photo. A verifier confirms both. The name on the verified ID is the name shown on shared profiles.

Re-checked: about 12 months

Education

The qualification, institution and dates, confirmed with the institution or its official records.

Re-checked: no routine re-check (a qualification doesn't expire)
Most requested

Employment

Each role, employer and dates, confirmed with the employer or official records.

Re-checked: 90 days

Address

Where the person lives or has lived, from documents such as utility bills or official records.

Re-checked: 150 days
Compliance critical

Professional Licence

The licence with the body that issued it, including whether it is current.

Re-checked: until the licence's own expiry date

Reference

Contact with the referee to confirm who they are and their relationship to the person.

Re-checked: 270 days
What "Verified" means

Every check gets a permanent audit ID

A trained Stodacom verifier checked the item against evidence or the original source, using the method shown next to it. Each check gets a permanent audit ID (e.g. STV-000123). Records can't be edited afterwards.

For identity, the person records a short live video (or a selfie holding a one-time code). It's matched to their ID photo on our own servers and confirmed by a verifier. That photo is shown on the profile, so you can confirm it's the person in front of you.

What was verified is fixed at that moment. If the person changes the details, the item is checked again before it shows as verified.

Verifications go stale: each item shows a Valid until date, after which it must be re-checked.

Statuses you may see

Understanding verification statuses

Each item on a profile shows one of these statuses.

Verified Checked and within its valid period.
Needs review Was verified, but is due or being re-checked.
Discrepancy Our checks found something that doesn't match. Don't rely on it.
Rejected Reviewed and could not be verified.
Not verified Never verified, or the verification has lapsed.
Checking a copy

Only the live page counts

A printout, PDF, screenshot or forwarded email can be edited. Every shared profile shows a share code (e.g. VP-7K3F-9Q2M-XP) and a QR code. Scan it or enter the code to open the live version; if it doesn't open one, the copy isn't valid.
