Transparency & Verification
At Dignified Independence, transparency is a fundamental institutional value. We recognise that members of the public, beneficiaries, employees, applicants, service users, partners, and other stakeholders may wish to verify our legal identity, registrations, licensed activities, and operational authority before engaging with us.
We welcome legitimate verification enquiries and consider it our responsibility to provide clear, relevant, and verifiable information through a structured and secure process.
Our Institutional Structure
The Dignified Independence institutional network comprises a total of 14 legally constituted entities:
– 11 commercial entities
– 3 non-governmental organisations, including Dignified Independence
Dignified Independence serves as the principal coordinating and supervisory NGO for the entire institutional network. It provides central strategic direction, institutional coordination, governance oversight, policy alignment, and operational supervision across the network.
Each of the 14 entities maintains its own legal identity, registration, permitted activities, regulatory obligations, and country-specific operational scope. Therefore, a licence or registration belonging to one entity must not automatically be treated as the licence of another entity.
The appropriate entity and supporting licence are determined according to:
1. The country or jurisdiction concerned.
2. The specific service, activity, or sector being verified.
3. The entity legally responsible for that activity in the selected country.
Country-Specific and Activity-Specific Licensing
Dignified Independence does not classify its licences as “International Licences” or “Regional Licences.”
Licensing, registration, and operational permissions are governed by the laws and regulatory requirements of each individual country. Accordingly, verification documents are provided on a country-specific, activity-specific, and entity-specific basis.
If a person wishes to verify our authority in a particular country, the licence or registration relevant to that country must be requested.
For example, a licence applicable to activities in one country cannot automatically be treated as proof of authority in another country. Similarly, a licence covering education, consultancy, healthcare support, recruitment, trading, project management, or another activity cannot be treated as authorisation for an unrelated regulated activity unless that activity is expressly included in the document.
Depending on the country and the nature of the request, the relevant document may include:
– A commercial or business licence.
– A certificate of incorporation or entity registration.
– An NGO or non-profit registration certificate.
– A branch or representative-office registration.
– A country-specific operating licence.
– A professional or sector-specific authorisation.
– An activity permit or regulatory approval.
– Another official document issued or recognised by the relevant authority.
Only the document relevant to the stated country, subject, activity, and entity will be selected and provided.
Information Required to Identify the Correct Licence
Before submitting a formal application, the requester must clearly specify:
1. Country or jurisdiction: The country for which verification is required.
2. Subject or service area: The exact activity to be verified.
3. Purpose of verification: Personal verification, institutional due diligence, legal review, service-related verification, or another legitimate purpose.
4. Entity name, if known: If the requester already knows which entity’s licence is required.
5. Type of document, if known: Licence, registration certificate, sector permit, branch registration, or another document.
After reviewing this information, the Verification and Compliance Desk will identify:
– The entity responsible for the stated activity.
– The relevant country-specific licence or registration.
– The number of documents required.
– The applicable administrative fee.
– Any additional documentation required from the requester.
Applicants should not make payment until the scope of the request and the payable amount have been confirmed in writing.
Service Areas Covered by the Institutional Network
The 14 entities operate across different commercial, professional, humanitarian, and community-service sectors. The entity selected for verification will depend on the country and the specific activity concerned.
Relevant service areas may include:
1. Humanitarian and community-development activities.
2. Support and representation for marginalised and vulnerable communities.
3. Caregiving, personal support, accessibility, and assisted-living services.
4. Healthcare support, medical coordination, and allied services.
5. Education, professional training, and institutional development.
6. Recruitment, workforce coordination, and employment-support services.
7. Pharmaceutical, para-pharmaceutical, medical, and allied products.
8. Accessibility products, adaptive equipment, and specialised trading.
9. Consultancy and professional-management services.
10. Feasibility studies, technical studies, and project evaluation.
11. Detailed Project Reports, institutional reports, and business documentation.
12. Project management and implementation support.
13. Financial-assistance documentation, loan-related consultancy, and compliance support.
14. Public relations, corporate communications, and information services.
15. Merchandising, marketing, trade, and product-promotion services.
16. Quality assessment, standards evaluation, and related professional services.
17. Investment, asset, or fund-related services where separately authorised by the applicable regulator.
18. Other legally permitted and officially registered allied activities.
The inclusion of a service area in this general description does not mean that every entity is authorised to provide that service in every country. Regulated activities will be undertaken only through the appropriate entity and only where the necessary country-specific registration, approval, or licence is available.
What a Licence Copy Confirms
A licence or registration copy may confirm:
– The legal name of the relevant entity.
– The country or jurisdiction of registration.
– The registration or licence number.
– The issuing or registering authority.
– The legal form of the entity.
– The activities expressly stated in the document.
– The date of issue, renewal, or expiry, where applicable.
– The registered office or business address stated in the document.
– Any limitations, conditions, or classifications appearing in the document.
A licence copy confirms only the information and authority expressly stated in that particular document. It must not be interpreted as proof of authority for:
– Another entity within the institutional network.
– A different country or jurisdiction.
– An activity not listed or legally covered.
– A professional service requiring a separate regulatory approval.
– Guaranteed approval of any employment, loan, investment, immigration, educational, healthcare, or service application.
– Guaranteed service outcomes, financial returns, or government approvals.
Verification Procedure
Step 1 – Scope Confirmation
Send a preliminary request clearly stating:
– Your full name.
– Country of residence.
– Country for which the licence is required.
– Exact service or activity to be verified.
– Entity name, if known.
– Purpose of the request.
– Number and type of documents required.
The Verification and Compliance Desk will review the request and confirm the appropriate entity, licence, country, and applicable fee.
Step 2 – Declaration
Prepare a formal declaration using a legally valid declaration, affidavit, notarised statement, or equivalent instrument recognised under the laws of the requester’s country or jurisdiction, where required.
The declaration must:
– Contain the requester’s complete personal details.
– Identify the country and activity being verified.
– Specify the requested entity or authorise the Verification and Compliance Desk to identify the appropriate entity.
– Explain the purpose of the request.
– Confirm that the documents will be used only for lawful verification.
– Provide an assurance against alteration, misuse, duplication, unauthorised publication, or transfer.
– Accept responsibility for any misuse.
– Authorise the processing of submitted identity information for verification and record-keeping purposes.
Where legally required, the declaration must be signed, notarised, attested, witnessed, or otherwise authenticated in accordance with the applicable laws and procedures of the requester’s country or jurisdiction.
Step 3 – Administrative Fee
The administrative fee is:
USD 45 per entity, per licence document, and per country.
The fee applies separately when the request includes:
– More than one entity.
– More than one licence or registration.
– More than one country.
– Separate activity-specific documents.
Examples:
– One licence from one entity for one country: USD 90
– Two separate licences from the same entity: USD 180
– One licence from each of two entities: USD 180
– One relevant licence for each of two countries: USD 180
Applicable taxes, where required, will be charged additionally.
The equivalent amount may be paid in USD, AED, GBP, EUR, GEL, or INR through any applicable official account listed on this website.
The fee covers administrative review, identification of the appropriate entity, document retrieval, internal validation, secure preparation, watermarking where required, record maintenance, and controlled delivery. It is not a government fee and does not prevent a requester from independently checking publicly available records through the relevant issuing authority.

Final Note
At Dignified Independence, we welcome responsible scrutiny because lasting trust must be supported by transparency, accountability, and verifiable documentation.
Our institutional network consists of 11 commercial entities and three NGOs, including Dignified Independence, making a total of 14 legally constituted entities. Because every country and service area may be governed by different legal requirements, verification documents are selected according to the relevant country, activity, and responsible entity.
By following this process, every requester can obtain the document relevant to their actual verification requirement while the integrity, confidentiality, and lawful use of institutional records remain protected.
We strive to promote fairness, transparency, dignity, responsibility, and empowerment across every sector in which we serve.
