Stand out with evidence
Verified profiles show a clear trust signal across the marketplace without turning verification into a requirement.
Trust Profile
Verification is a trust upgrade, not an access gate.
Deployed Works helps organisations discover and deploy trusted capability. Optional identity verification gives professionals and organisations a simple way to add evidence to their Trust Profile.
It is not required to join. It is there for people who want to stand out, reduce uncertainty and give others more confidence before starting a conversation.

Why verify?
Trust should be visible.
Verification gives good actors a simple way to prove they are taking the marketplace seriously.
Appear in Verified Only search
Organisations can filter for verified professionals when they want extra confidence before starting a conversation.
Reduce fake accounts
Optional identity verification makes the marketplace harder to abuse while keeping normal onboarding simple.
How it works
One optional flow.
The process is designed to be clear, low-friction and separate from normal access to the platform.
Step 1
Choose to verify
Open the Trust section in your dashboard and choose identity verification when you are ready.
Step 2
Pay the pass-through fee
Verification costs £1.25. This covers the Stripe Identity verification cost and is not a subscription.
Step 3
Complete Stripe Identity
Stripe handles the secure document and selfie flow. Deployed Works stores only the verification result and reference.
Step 4
Display your badge
When verification completes, your Trust Profile updates and the marketplace can show your verified status.
Trust, not bureaucracy
What verification does and does not mean.

It is one-time
The verification fee is £1.25 and separate from subscriptions or access plans.
It improves confidence
It helps people decide who to contact, shortlist and speak with.
It is not a guarantee
It does not guarantee skill, suitability, employment status or future performance.
FAQ
Questions, answered.
Is verification required?
No. Verification is a trust upgrade, not an access gate. You can join, create a profile and use the platform without verifying.
Who handles the verification?
Stripe Identity handles the secure verification flow. Deployed Works receives the outcome so your Trust Profile can be updated.
Does verification decide who gets work?
No. Verification is one trust signal. Organisations still decide who to contact, interview or deploy.
Can admins manually verify someone?
No. Admins can reset or invalidate a Trust Profile, but verification must come from provider evidence.
