How ELAREH verifies exam and requirement facts
Language and immigration requirements change, and a generic "IELTS is accepted" claim is not the same as a verified, sourced one. Every destination-requirement page on ELAREH is backed by a single database record with a named source, a source URL where one exists, and a verification date — never a blanket claim applied across every country at once.
What "verified" actually means here
Each requirement ELAREH publishes traces back to one LanguageRequirementRule record with a source_authority (the institution or government body named), a source_class (whether that source is government law, government guidance, a professional regulator, the exam provider itself, or only a secondary corroboration like a summary site), and a last_verified_at date. A rule sourced only from a secondary summary is labeled that way — it is never presented as if it came directly from the regulator when it didn't.
What happens when a fact goes stale
Every rule also carries a review_due_at date. When a rule passes that date without being re-checked, the destination page for that exam and country shows a visible re-verification notice rather than silently continuing to display the old figures as current. A rule that was never independently confirmed against a first-party source is labeled unverified rather than presented as fact — you can see this distinction on any exam-destination page under "Source and verification."
The same discipline applies to platform capabilities
Beyond requirement data, ELAREH also publishes an honest status for its own platform capabilities — identity verification, exam-day monitoring, and similar features are each marked LIVE, LIMITED, ROADMAP, or NOT_CONFIGURED rather than described in marketing language that implies more than what is actually running today.
Frequently asked questions
No single third-party platform can guarantee that — requirements can change without notice. ELAREH shows you exactly when a figure was last verified and against what source, so you can judge its freshness and confirm directly with the source before relying on it for a real application.
It means the underlying rule's review_due_at date has passed without a fresh check — the figures are still shown (removing them would be less honest than flagging them), but you should treat them as needing confirmation before you rely on them.
