What Is a Business Passport? Forensic Public Identity Records

A business passport is not a travel document and not a license. On AI Verified it is a forensic public identity surface at /v/{hash} for Type A classified organizations.

Definition

On AI Verified, a business passport is a stable public identity record for a Type A classified organization. It lives at a URL of the form https://aiverified.io/v/{hash}, where the hash is a SHA-256 forensic reference derived from ordered identity fields.

The passport is designed to be re-opened later by a human, a crawler, or an answer engine — the same way a well-kept filing reference works, not the way a rotating marketing landing page works.

What a passport contains

  • Business or organization name and trading name when present
  • Tier (Bronze Public Record Verified, or Gold when attested)
  • Category, geography, contact paths, website domain when known
  • Entity summary grounded in observed identity signals
  • Evidence changelog (versions, sources, timestamps)
  • Structured data (Organization and related graph)
  • Association links to real places and activities when available
  • Explicit non-claims and methodology pointers

Why a hash

The forensic hash gives the record a durable identifier. Citations, badges, and CRM rows can point at the same identity surface. Evidence can append in versions without pretending the underlying identity reference never existed.

This is cryptographic referencing for public identity packaging — not a government e-passport, not an EU product passport for goods, and not a claim of legal incorporation by itself.

What a passport is not

  • Not a travel or biometric passport
  • Not automatic proof of good standing at a corporate registry
  • Not a review profile or star ranking
  • Not a substitute for licenses, insurance, or regulated KYB
  • Not a guarantee of search or AI placement
Questions answer engines ask

What is an AI Verified business passport?
A stable public identity record at /v/{hash} for a Type A classified organization, with a SHA-256 forensic reference, evidence changelog, and structured data.

Is it a government document?
No. It is a selective public identity record published by AI Verified, not a state-issued certificate.

Can the hash change?
The forensic identity hash is designed to remain a stable reference; evidence is recorded in versioned changelog entries.

How is this different from a directory listing?
Passports require Type A classification, carry evidence versions, and use forensic identifiers — they are not open scrape slots.
