Standard verification is completed within 24–48 hours of document submission. Complex cases requiring additional information may take up to 5–7 business days.

Can businesses request their own verification?
+
Yes. Businesses can proactively apply for IBBF verification to improve their trust profile. Verified businesses receive an IBBF badge displayed on their profile page.
Does verification mean IBBF endorses the business?
