✅ Step-by-Step: How a VASP Gets Verified and Registered

1. 🔍 Choose a Travel Rule Authority (TRA) or Network

These are organizations or consortiums that maintain a VASP directory + certificate issuance system.

2. 📝 Submit Verification Documents

The VASP will need to provide:

• Legal entity name
• VASP license info (e.g., license number, regulator)
• Domain name (FQDN) they’ll use for UMA or Travel Rule messaging
• Public keys (for signing and encryption)

3. 🛡️ TRA Reviews & Approves

The TRA:

• Verifies the VASP’s license with a regulator
• Confirms domain ownership (via DNS or SSL cert)
• Validates the submitted public keys
• Issues a digital certificate binding:
  • VASP name + domain
  • Public keys
  • License jurisdiction
