Report misuse of Teal Registry status

Use this neutral channel when a badge, status, listing, or Teal Registry claim appears inaccurate, expired, exaggerated, or outside its reviewed scope.

Trust rule

Not listed? Not verified.

Only organizations and practitioners listed in the Teal Registry directory are verified or certified. Claims made outside the directory should be treated as unverified.

Tone standard

Reporting is not punitive. Most cases are resolved through clarification or correction. Teal Registry reviews evidence; it does not act on hearsay, social pressure, or personal disputes.

What happens after a report

The process is designed to protect public trust without creating public drama. A report may lead to no action, private correction, status clarification, suspension, revocation, or a public notice when public trust is affected.
