Verification is how the office confirms that the documents and certificates you’ve uploaded are genuine. Seamind tracks it at two levels: each credential has its own status, and your whole profile rolls up to a single status that tells everyone whose turn it is to act.

Your profile status

Your profile is always in one of four states:
StatusWhat it meansWhose turn
IncompleteSomething required hasn’t been submitted yetYou — add the missing document or certificate
In ReviewEverything’s submitted; your office is checking itOffice
Action NeededYour office sent something backYou — fix what’s flagged and resubmit
ApprovedEvery required credential is verifiedDone
When more than one could apply, Action Needed always wins — a sent-back item is the clearest next step. The status is shown with your completeness ring at the top of your profile.

Each credential’s status

Behind that overall status, every individual document and certificate carries its own badge:
  • Approved ✓ — confirmed by your office
  • In review ⧖ — submitted, waiting on the office
  • Action needed ✕ — sent back with a reason explaining what to fix
  • Not submitted — nothing uploaded yet
Your profile only reaches Approved once your required credentials — at least one identity document and at least one certificate — are all approved.

What happens when you edit an approved item

If you change an already-approved document or certificate — replace the scan, update a number, or change an expiry date — that item automatically returns to In review so the office can confirm the new version. Your other approved items stay approved, and your profile rolls back to In Review until the change is re-checked. Editing something that isn’t part of the review — like a personal note — doesn’t reset anything.

Getting to Approved

1

Fill in your required credentials

Upload your identity documents and certificates. While anything required is missing, your profile is Incomplete.
2

Wait for review

Once everything’s submitted, your profile moves to In Review and your office checks each item.
3

Resolve anything sent back

If an item is bounced, your profile shows Action Needed. Open it, read the reason, fix it, and resubmit.
4

Approved

When every required credential is verified, your profile is Approved.
