Timeline for Project Registration The length of the validation process varies from project to project. It can take up to a year or longer (in rare cases). After a successful validation, the project proponent requests project registration with Verra as outlined in the Registration and Issuance Process (PDF) document.
The VCS project lifecycle consists of several stages, including project design, registration, implementation, monitoring, verification, and issuance. Each stage plays a crucial role in ensuring the generation of high-quality carbon credits.
We assess applications for ACCUs against the eligibility requirements for your project's method. We have up to 90 days to process crediting applications.
Start-up funding for the VCS Association came from the Climate Group, the IETA, and the WBCSD. Costs are covered by a levy charged at the point of Voluntary Carbon Unit (VCU) issuance. The VCS is now a program of Verra which houses the VCS, and the CCBS among other environmental standards.
The carbon credit certification process primarily involves the following steps: project design and documentation, validation by a third-party, registration with a recognized standard, monitoring, and finally verification and issuance of credits.
Account applications may be submitted by clicking on “Open An Account” at the top right corner of the Verra Registry site. Note that all registry account applicants will be subject to strict “Know-Your-Customer” background checks.

A VCS grouped project combines multiple project activity instances into a single, combined project that adds new instances over time. Using VCS requirements for grouped projects, a project proponent may avoid undergoing a full validation for each new instance added to the project.
Verra's Methodology Change and Requantification Procedure allows VCS Program projects to update methodologies used in past verification periods, align previous monitoring and verification reports with updated methodology versions, and requantify greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reductions and removals from past periods.
VCS methodologies set out detailed procedures for quantifying the real greenhouse gas (GHG) benefits of a project and provide guidance to help project developers determine project boundaries, set baselines, assess additionality, and ultimately quantify the GHG emissions that were reduced or removed.
