Travels with you
Website, quotes, invoices, even your van.
We confirm facts, not opinions.
The badge means a specific, checkable set of facts is true today and is being monitored — confirmed against official New Zealand registers. It is not a rating of your workmanship or a recommendation. That honesty is exactly why customers trust it.
Registered & in good standing
Confirmed on the NZ Companies Register — not struck off, in liquidation or receivership.
Identity confirmed
We verify the person applying is genuinely connected to the company.
No adverse findings on record
No insolvency, court or regulator findings against the company at the time of checking.
Regularly monitored
We re-run the check regularly and remove the badge if anything changes.

Why this badge can't be faked.
Live, not an image
The badge renders from our server every time it loads. Copy the picture and it's just a picture — only the real, current builder gets the live render with today's date.
Unique badge code
Every approved builder gets a unique code on their badge. Anyone can paste it at /verify and confirm it's genuine and currently active — on our domain.
Removed if standing slips
We re-check every monitored builder regularly. If their record changes, the badge updates wherever it's embedded.
Two builders, same quote. Who gets the job?
- Independently checked & monitored
- Live, dated trust badge on the quote
- Customer can confirm it themselves
- Stands out from the crowd
- “Trust me” and a Facebook page
- No way to confirm anything
- Looks identical to a cowboy
- Customer hesitates — or walks
No surprises. Cancel anytime.
How billing works
- · $10/mo + GST for your first 6 months. $39/mo + GST thereafter.
- · Stripe charges your card automatically each month — same card, same date.
- · Receipts emailed by Stripe each month.
- · You can cancel at any time. Cancellation stops billing at the end of the current month.
If we revoke your badge
- · If your standing on the official register changes (e.g. liquidation, struck off), the badge auto-revokes and we cancel your subscription.
- · We refund the unused portion of the current billing period back to your original payment method — pro-rated to the day.
- · You'll get an email explaining the reason and the refund amount.
Verified & Monitored confirms public-record facts on the dates shown. It is not a guarantee of work quality or a recommendation. Card payments are handled by Stripe — we don't store your card details on our servers.
Before you apply.
What does ‘Verified’ actually mean?
It means a specific, checkable set of facts is true right now and being monitored: your company is registered and in good standing on the NZ Companies Register; the person who signed up is genuinely connected to the business; and there are no adverse findings against the company at the time of checking. We re-check those facts regularly, and the badge is removed if any of them change.
How long does it take to get verified?
Usually within five working days. You apply and pay via Stripe; we then run your company against the official record and email you once your badge is live. If something fails the check, we don’t activate, and any subscription payment is refunded in full.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. Open your dashboard, click Manage billing — that opens Stripe’s secure customer portal — and cancel in one click. Billing stops at the end of the current period; the badge stays live until then.
What happens if my company’s standing changes?
We auto-revoke the badge, cancel your subscription, and refund the unused portion of the current billing period back to your original card. You’ll get an email explaining the reason.
Where does the badge show?
On your public Verified profile (a permanent CheckMyBuilder.co.nz page for your company), and on any quote, invoice, van or website you put it on. You also get an embeddable live badge for your own site — one line of code, always shows your real-time status.
Does this guarantee I’ll win more work?
No, and we don’t pretend otherwise. The badge makes you stand out to nervous customers and gives them a way to verify you independently — that helps you win the jobs where trust is the deciding factor.
Is the badge a rating of my work?
No. We don’t rate workmanship — we have no basis to. The badge confirms public-record facts, which is something we can verify. Your work quality is for your customers to judge.
Why monthly, not one-off?
Because a one-off verification means nothing six months later. Companies change. Monitoring is what makes the badge worth trusting — and only the builders who are confident their standing will hold up sign on to be watched continuously.
Get verified in three steps.
Two-minute application. We verify against the official record before your first bill.
