What is an ‘authority’?

An ‘authority’ is a government agency, institute or other third party that has issued a licence, credential or qualification. For a Right to Work check, Certsy reconciles your information against the relevant authority or database in order to verify the information and ascertain your Right to Work conditions.

For Australian documents, Certsy accesses the Document Verification Service (DVS). DVS is a national online system that allows organisations to compare a customer's identifying information with the official record-holder or issuer.

For visa details, Certsy accesses the government service VEVO (Visa Entitlement Verification Online) to verify Australian visa details. This service allows organisations to verify visa information and conditions.
