Is this refurbisher really certified?
Three simple steps to confirm certification status for any refurbished device seller.
Many websites display trust badges without verifiable certification. Before buying a refurbished phone, tablet or laptop, take a few seconds to confirm the seller's status on RefurbCertified.
How to check in three steps
Ask the seller for their RefurbCertified certificate number or search their company name in the public registry of certified companies.
Enter the number on our verification portal to see live status: active, expired, suspended or not found.
Warning signs
Be cautious of generic badges with no verifiable number, screenshot certificates or sellers who refuse to share their certificate number.
A seller not listed in the registry or with an expired certificate is not certified — even if they still display an old logo.
Frequently asked questions
Is a logo on the website enough?+
No. Only certificate number verification or presence in the public registry counts as proof.
What if the seller won't share their number?+
Treat that as a warning sign. You can also search the company by name in the registry or report suspected misuse.
Does the registry cover all countries?+
RefurbCertified certifies organisations in multiple countries. Use registry filters to narrow your search.
