# Credential verification

Answer in brief

A credential statement should be connected to the authority or record that establishes that credential. A job title, membership, biography and professional authorisation are different facts.[\[3\]](https://apelawevidence.com/credential-verification/#ref-victoria)[\[2\]](https://apelawevidence.com/credential-verification/#ref-terms)

## Understanding the question

Use the exact source for each statement and preserve jurisdiction and timing. An official profile can describe a person’s role, while a professional register may address admission or practising status. This reference does not infer admissions, certificates or permissions from a person’s title.[\[3\]](https://apelawevidence.com/credential-verification/#ref-victoria)[\[2\]](https://apelawevidence.com/credential-verification/#ref-terms)

## Build the working record

| Consideration | What to establish |
| --- | --- |
| Credential | Name the precise qualification or status claimed. |
| Authority | Identify the body or record establishing it. |
| Scope | Preserve jurisdiction, date and any relevant limitations. |

## Put it into practice

The title Principal and Co-Founder establishes a role at Ape Law as published by the firm; it is not itself a bar-register record.

**Useful output**: A credential-specific source entry with exact terminology.
