One query against the registries that actually matter — plus written verification reports on the platforms people ask about. Free, sourced, no signup.
Checks SEC IAPD, FINRA BrokerCheck, SEC EDGAR, domain registry (RDAP), Wayback history and DNS — sources named on every result. Registration is not an endorsement; absence of records is not an accusation.
Three verdict states — the meaning depends on what the site claims to be.

Written verification reports and plain-language investing education — every claim sourced.
