Verification & Badges

Last updated: 3 November 2026

Badges help you judge who you are dealing with. This page explains exactly what each badge means — and what it does not mean.

Email verified

The member has confirmed they control the email address on the account. It does not confirm who they are.

Company: Registry-verified

The company number and name match an official register (Companies House for UK companies, the EU VAT register, or the global LEI register), and there is a sign the account belongs to that company — such as a matching website domain, a verified company email, or an approved document.

Company: Verified (document)

Our team reviewed an official registration certificate or licence uploaded by the company.

Company: Registry-checked

The number and name match the register, but we have no proof yet that the account owner works for the company. Shown in grey. Take normal care.

Recruiters

In-house recruiters show their company's badge once the company adds them to its team.
Agency recruiters may add a company number or licence number. It is shown as "provided" unless our team has reviewed it.

What a badge does NOT mean

It is not an endorsement or recommendation by purplelogin.
It does not guarantee that a job, offer, salary or claim is genuine.
Never pay money to get a job, and never share bank or ID details in messages — whatever badge someone has.

Documents you upload for verification

Kept in a private, locked folder that only our verification team can open. Used only to check the registration. Deleted when rejected, or after approval once the check is recorded.

Losing a badge

We remove a badge if the company is dissolved, the details change, the account is transferred, or we find the information was false. Misusing a badge can lead to the account being closed.
