From your company to your domain

1
Verify the company.
Your company goes through the applicable verification and review process.
2
Prove domain control.
Add your website, then follow its DNS TXT or hosted-file instructions.
3
Link to the live record.
Display the website seal and let visitors check the company and current coverage.

Company verification and control of a domain are separate checks.

Two ways to show you control the domain.

An already verified company can add a domain and prove control using a DNS TXT record or a hosted file. Each domain has its own proof instructions.

The service checks the proof and rechecks added domains. A domain that is removed or loses its required proof can lose live seal coverage.

example-holdings.example (example)

DNS TXT: Add the exact record and proof value provided for your domain.
Hosted file: Place the provided proof file at the location specified for your domain.
Check: Authentikor checks for the matching proof.

Illustration only. Use your account's exact proof instructions.

The linked record is what visitors should check.

A copied badge image can be out of date. Visitors should open the linked company record, check the domain and read its current status.

The seal connects the website to a verified company and evidence of domain control. It is not a security audit or a guarantee that every page, link or transaction is safe.

Verification record (example)

Company: Example Holdings (Pty) Ltd
Domain: example-holdings.example
Company status: Active (example)
Current domain coverage: Included (example)

A website seal has a specific purpose.

Website seals are for verified website coverage. They are separate from Authentikor's company wordmark, marketing fingerprint and campaign banners.

A licence certificate also has a different purpose: an eligible verified company issues it to a licensee for a defined scope and period.
