Verify your organization's domain ownership through DNS

You can now complete the domain ownership step of organization verification yourself through DNS, directly from Admin Center → Account. For a step-by-step walkthrough of the verification flow, see How to do organization verification.

To get started, click the Get Verified banner in Admin Center → Account. Wauld shows you the DNS record details you need - including record type, hostname, TXT value, and TTL. Add that record through your domain registrar, return to Wauld, and click Verify. If the record is in place and publicly available, Wauld confirms domain ownership automatically. Your organization then moves to Under Review while Wauld's team reviews your organization name, issuing authority, logo, verified domain, and other public details before approving your account and assigning a Verified status and badge.

What this means for you:

  • Complete the domain ownership step yourself without waiting for extended manual verification back-and-forth

  • Give recipients, employers, and institutions a clear signal that credentials come from a verified source

  • Find the full verification setup in Admin Center → Account under the Get Verified banner

To understand what Verified status means for your organization and the credentials you issue, read Benefits of organization verification in Wauld.

Note: The Verified badge applies only to credentials issued after your organization is approved. Credentials issued before verification are not updated retroactively.
