Common questions about the verification process
How do I create an account?
Click "Begin Verification" on the home page or go to the Sign Up page. You can register with your email address or phone number. You will receive a verification code to confirm your identity.
What documents do I need to submit?
You will need: (1) A passport photograph, (2) Your NIN slip or card, (3) Your payment receipt for shop allocation, (4) Any previous ownership documents (if claiming as original owner), and (5) Previous certificate of allocation (if available).
How long does verification take?
The verification process typically takes 5-10 business days. You will receive email and/or SMS notifications when your application status changes. You can also track your application status in real-time through the portal.
What happens after my application is approved?
Once approved, a Super Administrator will issue your Certificate of Ownership. The certificate will be sent to your email as a PDF, and you can also download it from your dashboard. Each certificate has a unique number and QR code for public verification.
How can I verify a certificate?
Visit the "Verify a Certificate" page and enter the certificate number (format: ABS-XXX-YYYY-NNNNN). You can also scan the QR code on the certificate. The verification page will show the certificate holder's name, shop number, market, and issuance date.
What does 'Awaiting Subscriber Action' mean?
This status means the assessor has reviewed your application and needs additional information or documents from you. Check your application details for comments from the assessor, then provide the requested information.
Can I submit multiple applications?
Yes, you can submit a separate application for each shop allocation you hold. Each application is reviewed independently.
What if my application is rejected?
If your application is rejected, you will receive a notification with the reason. You may submit a new application with corrected information or additional supporting documents.
I forgot my password. How do I reset it?
Click "Forgot Password" on the Sign In page. Enter your email address, and you will receive a password reset link. The link expires after 1 hour.
