Brand registration

When you register your brand successfully, it will have a status of Verified. The other most common status is Unverified, which means the EIN/Tax-ID or the Legal Company Name you submitted did not match with the data source (e.g., IRS) that The Campaign Registry uses to verify your brand. So when filling out the brand registration form, make sure those two pieces of information are accurate.
