How long does verification take?

Verification speed depends on which method you choose and which tier you're targeting: **Bronze (immediate):** Your passport is issued the moment you submit the registration form. No waiting. **Silver — DNS TXT method:** After you add the TXT record to your DNS, the system checks every 5 minutes. Cloudflare propagates in 1–2 minutes. Most registrars propagate within 30 minutes. Maximum wait is 24 hours for slow registrars. **Silver — Meta tag method:** Instant. Add the meta tag to your homepage, click Verify, and it's done. **Gold:** Automated for supported registries (UK, AU, US, CA, ZA). Usually verified within 2 minutes. Manual review for unsupported countries takes 1–3 business days. **Platinum:** Manual review process. Typically 2–5 business days. The dashboard shows your current verification status and will notify you when each step completes.
