How Coda verification works.
Only Professionals whose credentials have been reviewed appear publicly. Here's what we check — and what verification does not mean.
- Step 1Identity
Government-issued ID is checked against the Professional's submitted name and contact info.
- Step 2Photo
Profile photo must clearly show the Professional and meet professional standards.
- Step 3License or credential
State bar number, CFP®, CPA, mediation certification, or equivalent is reviewed against the issuing body where possible.
- Step 4Firm & contact details
Firm name, business address, business email, and phone are checked for consistency.
- Step 5Insurance / E&O
Where applicable, professional liability information is reviewed.
- Step 6Admin review
A Coda reviewer makes a final judgment before the profile is published.
Verification helps users understand submitted credentials, but it does not guarantee outcomes or replace the user's own decision to hire a Professional.
