Is claiming the listing enough?

No. Claim is free and only marks the record as yours. The Verified stamp stays off until membership is paid and we finish the authority check.

What do homeowners see before we pay?

An unclaimed or claimed public record, without the stamp, without a dofollow backlink, and without MovingCompany markup. That is deliberate.

Is this a government or FMCSA certification?

No. It is our paid membership mark. We confirm USDOT or state operating authority, insurance, and a complaint-history screen. You should still expect a homeowner to verify the authority at FMCSA's SAFER database.

Paid membership mark

The Verified stamp is earned. Claim is free. The stamp is paid.

Moving Union does not put a stamp on an unclaimed public record. Homeowners only see it when those three things are true.
