Professional Credential Intelligence

Professional status, verified in context.

Professional · Regulatory · Period-aware

Professional credentials use a registry-first model: professional body, credential class, registration number, issue/expiry, status, jurisdiction and official verification route are kept as separate evidence.

WHAT BONAFIDE DOES

Purpose-built verification capabilities.

Each capability is a visible part of the verification workflow—not a hidden AI score.

Regulator identity

Professional body, jurisdiction and credential class are resolved before verification.

Registration lookup

Registration/licence number, issue date, expiry date and status where official sources expose them.

Period-aware validity

A current suspension or expiry does not rewrite historical validity for an earlier employment or academic period.

Official verification routes

Adapters are introduced only where a lawful/public or partner-authorized verification path exists.

Credential integrity

Document/QR/signature integrity can support the source status but is not treated as a substitute for regulator evidence.

Case integration

Professional status becomes one evidence dimension in the same applicant case graph.

EVIDENCE MODEL

Professional verification is not a generic certificate check.

The correct regulator, jurisdiction and effective dates matter. DCS Bonafide keeps current status, historical status and credential integrity separate so customers can see what the evidence actually proves.

  • Expired, suspended, inactive and unknown are different states
  • Jurisdiction is part of the credential model
  • Professional source availability is assessed before automation is enabled
  • DCS Bonafide provides verification evidence; the customer retains the hiring/licensing decision

WORKFLOW

From input to defensible evidence.

Bonafide follows the strongest available verification route and resumes only the affected lane when new evidence arrives.

DESIGNED FOR

One evidence model. Role-specific operations.

The same underlying case can be viewed differently by institutions, employers, reviewers, operations and candidates.

01

Employers

Validate regulated professional credentials

02

Universities

Check licences/registrations submitted with applications

03

BGV teams

Combine professional, academic and employment evidence

DECISION DISCIPLINE

Unknown fake.

Unmapped issuer, new template, legacy document or unavailable source must route to uncertainty/manual verification rather than an automatic accusation.

Authority VerifiedAuthoritative source evidence is consistent.
Highly ConsistentStrong supporting evidence; independent source not complete.
Evidence RequiredA targeted item can likely resolve the case.
Unable to DetermineEvidence remains insufficient; no fraud conclusion.
