What a listing means
An organisation listed with the status Active has been certified as meeting the interoperability standards of the Velocity Interoperability Network and is entitled to use its key on the Network. Other members may rely on a listing as evidence of certification without further enquiry.
An organisation that is not listed, or whose status is not Active, is not a member of the Network, whatever it may claim.

Before you exchange
Anyone may consult the register, at any time and without charge. It answers one question: whether a named organisation is a member of the Velocity Interoperability Network today, and under which key it exchanges. It speaks as at the day it is read, so a check made last month is not evidence of membership now.
A member that finds an organisation listed with the status Active may exchange with it on the strength of that entry alone, without asking the Registry to confirm it and without enquiring into the organisation's systems. Certification is not, however, a promise that a system will be available or that an exchange will succeed.
