What a code proves
One code, four confirmations.

Verification questions
Straight answers.
Anything else, ask us directly. A principal replies, not a bot.
[email protected]Who can verify a SourceSquid report?
Anyone holding the report: the buyer who ordered it, their customer, a bank, an auditor or the factory itself. The code is printed on the report, and checking it takes seconds.
What if my code is not found?
Check the code exactly as printed, including the dashes, and remember that the letter O and the number 0 look alike. If it is still not found, email us the code and a copy of the report and we confirm it within one working day.
Are the sample codes real reports?
No. SQ-26-PSI-0412 and SQ-26-AUD-0233 are sample reports that show how verification works. Codes on reports issued to clients are checked against the same register.
Does a verified report cover later shipments?
A report covers the lot or factory named on it, on the date stated. For later lots, book a new inspection; for a newer view of a factory, book a fresh audit.
