Frequently Asked Questions

How long does the validation process take?

The typical validation process takes 5-10 business days from initial application to profile approval, depending on document availability and professional validator availability.

We can connect you with an appropriate validator from our network. Our team will help match you with a professional who can assess your circumstances fairly and independently.
