Project developers must open an account and submit all required documents to the Verra Registry in order to submit project requests for pipeline listing, registration, and verification approval.
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.
Project registration process Submit a Project Idea Note (PIN) detailing its operations and estimating the quantum of saved carbon. This can be done by any suitably qualified and experienced carbon market practitioner. Credible Carbon will review the PIN before accepting the project into the registry.
To become an approved VVB with the Plastic Program, organizations must complete a Verra Validation/Verification Body Application Form (DOC) and submit the signed application, along with any supporting evidence (as required by the application), to auditing@verra.
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.
Verra is a carbon credit registry that manages the Verified Carbon Standard (VCS), the biggest standard in the carbon market based on market share. As a standard, Verra sets rules and requirements for carbon credit projects to ensure that they achieve measurable, high-integrity outcomes.

Once certified, these projects are eligible to be issued Verified Carbon Units (VCUs), with one VCU representing one metric tonne of carbon dioxide reduced or removed from the atmosphere. Projects can monetize these VCUs in the carbon market to support and scale up their climate change mitigation activities.
Carbon credits are measurable, verifiable emission reductions from certified climate action projects. These projects reduce, avoid or remove greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
