Professional Verification Policy
How jurisdiction-specific credentials are reviewed before any Verified badge.
Verification is not self-certification
A business registration certificate, paid membership card, website statement or self-declared credential is not sufficient proof of immigration-advice authorization. Only an administrator may grant, suspend, expire or revoke a Verified label after reviewing the official register.
Required evidence
- Professional name, organization and exact jurisdiction served.
- Jurisdiction-specific professional category and registration or licence number.
- Regulator and direct public-register URL.
- Languages, practice areas and business contact information.
- Verification date and an administrator decision log.
Registers by jurisdiction
- Canada: College of Immigration and Citizenship Consultants and relevant law societies.
- Australia: OMARA and applicable legal-practitioner registers.
- New Zealand: Immigration Advisers Authority register and applicable exempt-professional sources.
- United Kingdom: Immigration Advice Authority and appropriate legal-professional regulators.
- United States: state attorney licensing sources and EOIR recognized-organization and accredited-representative records.
- Europe: the relevant national legal, immigration-advice or professional authority; no single Europe-wide authorization is assumed.
Statuses and continuing checks
Possible statuses are Pending, Verified, Expired, Suspended, Rejected and Needs re-verification. Pending and rejected profiles are not presented as verified. Verification is point-in-time and should be renewed periodically or when a regulator alert requires review.
A badge does not endorse quality, guarantee availability or create a professional-client relationship with IMMIOOO. Users must check the register themselves before engagement.
Fees and independence
IMMIOOO does not collect legal consultation fees or take commissions on regulated advice in the initial directory model. Paid placement must not purchase verification. Any future advertising or referral model requires jurisdiction-specific review and clear disclosure.
