Nature of IDA
IDA is a private membership and certification scheme. It does not replace licences, public inspection or clinical decisions, does not guarantee treatment results and does not claim accreditation or endorsement by external bodies.
Fees
Fees pay for services and evaluations, including when the decision is unfavourable. Payment never activates a credential or buys a decision. Reference prices are in USD, excluding taxes and travel.
Use of seals
Holders may use a seal only for the person, site, services and dates authorised, always linking to the registry. Member seals may never be used with the word “Certified”. On suspension, expiry or revocation, online use must stop within 24 hours and printed material within five business days.
Registry
The page at /verify is the only proof of current status. Screenshots, printed certificates or copied images are not proof of validity.
Complaints and appeals
Complaints and appeals follow the procedure published on the Governance page.
