Certificate Check

Verify an accredited investor certificate

Holding an AccreditedNow verification letter? Enter the certificate ID printed on it to confirm it is genuine, who it covers, and whether it is still current. Free, no account required.

You will find the certificate ID at the bottom of the signed letter, next to the QR code. Scanning the QR code brings you straight here with the ID already filled in.

What this check tells you

Rule 506(c) requires an issuer to take reasonable steps to verify that every purchaser is accredited. A written confirmation from a CPA, attorney, registered broker-dealer, or registered investment adviser is one of the safe harbors, and it is the one most syndicators rely on. The weakness has always been the document itself: a PDF is trivially edited, and an issuer accepting one has no way to tell an authentic letter from a convincing copy.

This page closes that gap. Every letter AccreditedNow issues carries a certificate ID that was minted before the letter was written and stored against the underlying case. Checking it here confirms four things: that a letter with this ID was actually issued, that the name on the letter in your hand matches the name on the record, that a licensed professional performed the review, and that the verification has not passed its expiration date.

Keep the answer with your subscription file. It is the evidence that you did not simply accept a document at face value.

What this check does not tell you

It returns status, not finances. You will not see the investor's income, net worth, account balances, institutions, property holdings, or the documents the CPA reviewed, and neither will anyone else who enters this ID. That is deliberate and it is the point of the product: an accredited investor should be able to prove they qualify without handing brokerage statements to every sponsor they meet. A certificate that leaked the underlying figures would defeat the reason the investor bought it.

It is also not investment, legal, or tax advice, and it is not a recommendation about any offering. Your verification obligations under Rule 506(c) remain yours.

Something looks wrong

If a certificate does not check out, or the name on the letter does not match what this page returns, tell us. We would rather hear about a forged letter than not.
