How we verify and contact: consulates and communities
We are not an agency and do not provide legal services: we check facts against official sources, print the date of the check and link to the primary source. Where a figure cannot be confirmed we either remove it or flag it as needing verification.

- NVI — population, citizenship, driving licence.
