Copy the claim exactly
Record regulator name, licence or certificate number, company, footer wording, linked seal destination and page date.
This page is a decision worksheet built around a specific search task. It separates observable records, first-party wording and unresolved claims so the conclusion can be checked again after a material change.
Use the regulator register
Search the issuer's own current and archived records where available. Check status and the domains explicitly covered.
Match the operating entity
The company in the terms, privacy notice, cashier and licence should reconcile. Document name changes rather than assuming they are harmless.
Add Australian context
An offshore licence does not establish Australian permission. Check current ACMA information for the exact service independently.
A licence is scoped, dated evidence
Do not write simply licensed or unlicensed when the record is ambiguous. State which claim was tested, against which register, on what date and what remained unresolved.
Questions this page resolves
Does Curacao licensing mean legal in Australia?
No; Australian service legality is a separate ACMA question.
Can a licence seal be trusted?
Only after its destination and regulator record are independently verified.
What if historical records conflict?
Publish the conflict with dates and avoid a present-tense conclusion.
