Verification
What 'Verified' Really Means
The SIVAR Verified badge is not automatic. Every property earns it through a structured review. Here is exactly what that involves.
How we verify a property
- 01
Application
The host submits property details, photos, and documents through our platform.
- 02
Document Check
We verify government-issued ID, property ownership or tenancy proof, and any applicable licences.
- 03
Property Inspection
Our team visits in person or conducts a live video walkthrough for remote locations. No exceptions.
- 04
Safety Checklist
We check locks, lighting, water supply, emergency exits, and neighbourhood access against our 20-point standard.
- 05
Host Interview
We speak with the host about house rules, guest expectations, emergency procedures, and women-safety practices.
- 06
Badge Awarded
Property goes live with the Verified badge. Re-verification is triggered annually and on any safety complaint.

What it does not guarantee
Verification means we have done thorough due diligence — it does not mean we guarantee perfection. Travel involves an element of trust. If your stay does not match its verified standard, report it and we will investigate within 24 hours.
