AI Verified Opens Free Business Registry to All Countries
Any business in any country can now claim a free AI Verified passport and receive a cryptographic identity record
AI Verified has announced that its business identity registry is now open to businesses in all countries, with a free tier that provides every business with a SHA-256 cryptographic identity record, a public registry page, and a trust badge for their website.
The registry, which launched in April 2026, is designed to address what its founders describe as "the identity layer the AI economy was built without" — a verifiable, machine-readable standard for confirming that a business is real, legitimate, and who it claims to be.
What the Free Tier Includes
Every business that registers with AI Verified receives:
- A SHA-256 identity hash anchored to their government registry data
- A public registry page at aiverified.io/registry/[slug] with structured JSON-LD data
- An AI Verified trust badge for their website, available in three sizes
- An llms.txt file automatically generated with their verified business data
- A JSON-LD schema block they can copy and paste into their website
Why Free?
"We believe that every legitimate business deserves to be verifiable by AI systems," said the AI Verified team. "Making the registry free removes the barrier to entry and ensures that small businesses, sole traders, and businesses in developing economies have the same access to AI visibility as large corporations."
The free tier is supported by premium features — including API access, WordPress plugin, affiliate programme, and advanced analytics — which are available on paid plans.
How to Register
Registration takes approximately 5 minutes:
- Visit aiverified.io and click "Get AI Verified — Free"
- Sign in with your Manus account or create a new one
- Enter your business name, country, and government registration number
- AI Verified verifies your registration against the relevant government registry
- Your SHA-256 identity hash is generated and your passport is issued
The entire process is automated and typically completes within 60 seconds for businesses in supported countries.
Supported Countries
AI Verified currently supports businesses registered in over 50 countries, including the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, South Africa, New Zealand, Ireland, and all EU member states. Support for additional countries is being added continuously.
