What Happens If Information Changes Later
When core details change, such as a business name or role, the underlying verified status remains intact while the entry itself is updated to reflect the current, accurate information.
Entrepreneurs change roles, rename businesses, and grow in ways that outdate parts of an old entry. The registry is built to handle that without undermining the credential itself.
What Can and Cannot Be Updated
Details like business name, title, or public contact information can be updated as circumstances change. The core verified status itself, tied to the original review, remains permanent and is not reset simply because surface details were updated.
Why Permanence and Updates Are Not in Conflict
Permanence, one of the five Recognition Standards, refers to the entry remaining checkable over time, not to the details being frozen in place forever. A registry that could never be updated would quickly become inaccurate rather than trustworthy.
Chapter Nine, Questions Answered
Do I need to reverify if I change my business name
Not automatically. Minor detail updates are handled separately from full reverification.
What if my entrepreneurial activity changes entirely
Significant changes may require a fresh review to confirm the new activity meets the same standards.
Is there a record of what changed and when
Yes, updates are tracked so the entry remains an accurate, current reflection of verified status.
