How LIVAREX Verifies Landlords

Trust is our product. Every landlord on LIVAREX goes through a manual identity and property verification process before their listings go live.

Our Process

5-step verification

Account Registration

Required

Landlords create a verified account with a valid email address and Nigerian phone number. OTP verification confirms the phone immediately.

Government ID Submission

Required

Every landlord must upload a clear photo of one government-issued ID: NIN slip, international passport, driver's license, or voter's card.

Manual Document Review

24–48 hrs

Our verification team reviews every submission within 24–48 hours. We cross-check the ID details, confirm identity, and check against our fraud database.

Property Ownership Confirmation

Per listing

For each listing, we review proof of ownership or legal authority to let (title deed, C of O, allocation letter, or estate agent authority). Landlords listing without proof are declined.

Verified Badge Awarded

Ongoing

Approved landlords receive the ✅ Verified badge on their profile and all their listings. This badge tells tenants: "This person is real, their identity is confirmed, and their property claim has been checked."

What the ✅ badge means

The landlord's government-issued ID has been reviewed

Their identity matches the documents submitted

Their claim to the property has been checked

Their listing complies with our content policy

They agreed to LIVAREX's landlord code of conduct

Always inspect before paying

Verified status dramatically reduces scam risk, but we still strongly recommend booking a physical inspection before transferring any money. Use our free inspection booking tool on every property page.

Common questions

How long does verification take?

Document review typically takes 24–48 hours on business days. You'll receive an email notification as soon as your application is reviewed.

What happens if a landlord submits fake documents?

Any landlord found submitting fraudulent documents is permanently banned from LIVAREX. We report repeat offenders to relevant authorities. Tenants can also flag suspicious listings using the "Report Listing" button on any property.

Can tenants report fake listings?

Yes. Every property page has a "Report Listing" button. Reports are reviewed within 24 hours, and listings that violate our policy are taken down immediately.

Does "Verified" mean the property is guaranteed?

Verified status means the landlord's identity has been confirmed and their claim to the property has been checked. It significantly reduces scam risk, but we still encourage tenants to book an inspection before making any payment.

What is planned for the future?

We're building NIN/BVN database integration and face-match verification. These will go live as part of our Phase 2 upgrades, making LIVAREX the most rigorously verified property platform in Nigeria.
