What We Do

Application Process

1. Create an account.
Go to my.legitscript.com to create an account and enter your contact information. Once you've set up an account, you'll be ready to proceed.

2. Start a new certification and pay for your application review.
Before completing the questionnaire, you'll pay the fee for the application review. You will not need to pay the annual subscription fee until after you have been certified. See pricing.

3. Complete the questionnaire.
You can save your progress and return to the questionnaire at your convenience. See Required Information for more details.

Note: Once your application has been reviewed for eligibility, you will be directed to submit product samples to LegitScript's partner labs for testing.

4. Clarify and remediate.
As our analysts review your application, they may reach out to you with questions or requests for additional information. They may also highlight areas of minor noncompliance that you'll need to remediate before receiving certification. By responding quickly to these requests, you can help streamline the review process.

5. Pay your subscription fee.
Once your application has been approved, you'll need to pay the annual subscription fee to finalize the process and be fully certified.

You must have ongoing monitoring by LegitScript. (It's a requirement for certification.)

LegitScript also offers a service to help monitor the usage of your brand online. Based on predefined* branded search terms of your choosing, you'll get regularly scheduled reports based on results from the internet's top search engines, including Google, Bing, Yahoo, Baidu, and others. Our analysts then review your report and include a summary so that you can easily understand your results and take appropriate action. For further information and pricing, contact us.
