> This is the Markdown of a Backed Help Centre page, https://admin.backed.giving/help/administrator/verifiers/faq-verifiers.md. Every page is listed at https://admin.backed.giving/help/llms.txt.

> This page uses Backed's default terms, such as Funding Round and Application Template. An organisation may rename them, so read each as your organisation's own term if you've renamed it.

Labels that name `Verifier` use your organisation's own term if you've renamed it.

## Why can't I add a verifier?

You need a registration type that represents verifiers. Create one under
`Settings > Profile and terms > Registrations`, then select `Add Verifier` again.

## We call them something else. Can we rename verifiers?

Yes. In `Settings > Profile and terms`, select `Edit Details` and set the singular and plural under
`What you call Verifiers`. Every label that names them follows. Leave both empty to go back to
`Verifier` and `Verifiers`.

## What can a verifier see and do?

Only what your `Verifier settings` allow: editing assigned applications, receiving applications and
milestones from applicants, accepting the letter of offer, and access to conditions, milestones and
contracts. See [Verifiers and institutions](verifiers-and-institutions.md).

## A verifier shows `Unclaimed`. What does that mean?

Nobody has signed in for it yet. Open its record and select `Resend invitation`.

## Can someone be an applicant and act for a verifier?

Yes. Use `Invite User` on the verifier's record: a person who already has an account is added
straight away and keeps what they had.
