Accredited investor verification is the process of confirming that a prospective investor meets the income, net-worth, or professional-knowledge thresholds that securities regulation requires for participation in unregistered or exempt securities offerings, such as many security token issuances. It typically involves documentary evidence or third-party attestation rather than self-certification alone. It is a compliance gate distinct from general know-your-customer identity checks, since it verifies financial eligibility rather than identity.
