How Verification works

Last updated 17 June 2026

Verification is the strongest trust signal on CarJio. A listing climbs five levels as our team confirms more about the seller and the car. Crucially, sellers can never grant themselves a level — every rung is set by a human reviewer.

The five levels

Level 0 — Basic Listing. Listed on CarJio. No checks completed yet.
Level 1 — Seller Verified. We confirmed who is selling — the seller’s identity is verified.
Level 2 — CarJio Checked. The ownership document (RC) has been checked by CarJio.
Level 3 — CarJio Verified™. Identity, documents and photos reviewed and signed off by our team.
Level 4 — Premium Verified. Maximum proof — documents and all five videos verified.

How a listing is verified

A seller requests verification and provides evidence — identity, the registration certificate and other documents, photos and walkaround videos. The request enters a moderation queue. A reviewer checks the evidence and either approves it, rejects it with a reason, or asks for more information. Every decision is written to an append-only audit log.

Why sellers can’t self-verify

The verification level shown on a listing is a value that only our review service can write, and it is protected at the database level so it cannot be set by a seller. This is what makes the badge meaningful: it always reflects checks a person at CarJio actually completed.

What a badge does and doesn’t mean

It does mean we completed the checks described for that level.
It does not warrant the mechanical condition or future reliability of the car — always inspect before you buy.
It cannot be bought, boosted or rushed by payment.

Keeping the marketplace honest

Alongside verification we run duplicate-listing and duplicate-seller checks to surface suspicious patterns to our reviewers, so a badge is harder to game.
