Proof guide
Trekking certificate vs official trail certificate
Verified Hikes issues independent evidence-reviewed certificates, not official trail authority certificates unless a partner or authority relationship is explicitly confirmed.
Independent review
The registry reviews submitted completion evidence and records safe certificate metadata for public verification.
Officialness policy
Trail authority, government, or official partner claims are used only when the relationship is verified and approved for that trail or partner.
Certificate status
Certificates can be valid, revoked, or reissued. Verification pages explain the current status without exposing private evidence.
