Subscribers
VeriMe provides cost-effective services for identity verification, on a global scale. VeriMe eliminates the need for research systems, universities, and governments to collect and store sensitive personal information (PII) while also providing assurance that system access is limited to identity-verified users.
We provide reliable infrastructure that is informed by over 30 years of experience building and maintaining high-availability, secure digital platforms with privacy-first practices
We are committed to earning your trust through community governance, our transparent business model, and sustainable operations practices.
Who is a subscriber?
Subscribers are organizations that are engaged in research and development, either directly such as a research institute or facility, or indirectly as a funder, publisher, repository, tool, or platform.
What does it mean to be a subscriber?
You are helping to improve research integrity.
Subscribing organizations may use the VeriMe API to validate the identity of researchers requesting access to subscriber systems, whether that is an authoring workflow, a funding application, or a secure dataset.
Subscribers may purchase vouchers which can be used by researchers to reduce the cost of their annual membership fee.
Subscribers may also make recommendations or contribute data for new evidence markers, in addition to those currently supported by VeriMe.
What are the Subscriber terms and conditions?
All API Users must sign our Terms of Use.
The Subscription Agreement incorporates our Privacy Policy, Code of Conduct, and Terms of Use.
Subscriber Fees
Subscription fees are based on completed verifications.
Any entity using VeriMe to verify researcher identity and personhood must register a VeriMe API user account and complete a click-through agreement to our terms and conditions.
Registered API users pay US$120 per completed verification.
Entities that become Subscribers pay in advance for a bundle of vouchers and receive substantial discounts on verification fees.
Vouchers can be used to query the API using an ORCID iD and/or an email address. For those researchers who do not yet have a VeriMe account, these vouchers can be used as invitations that waive the fee for their first year of VeriMe Membership.

How Vouchers work
When a new Subscriber account is funded, vouchers are distributed as zero balance of Completed Verifications and a Tier balance of Active Invitations. Subsequent voucher purchases will add to these balances.
Vouchers are valid for up to 5 years from date of purchase.
Subscribers may issue an Active Invitation to a researcher. Every issued Invitation decreases the available number of Invitations available to issue. By default, issued Invitations are valid for up to 7 days, at which point they will automatically expire, return to the Subscriber account, and reset the available number of Invitations that can be issued.
Invitations that are used by a researcher to create a Member account are counted as a Completed Verification. As Completed Verifications accrue in a Subscriber account, the count of available Invitations decreases.
