# What documents does Goodstack require to verify my organization’s nonprofit status?

To help Goodstack verify your nonprofit status, you can provide official legal documents, such as a Government-issued registration certificate, a tax exemption confirmation letter, an official extract from the nonprofit register, or similar, that can confirm your organization is registered according to our nonprofit definitions.

You only need to do this if you can’t find your organization in Goodstack's registry when starting your application.

The documents should include clear details, such as your nonprofit’s name, ensuring they are relevant to your organization.

**I don't have the documents yet**

If you do not have these documents at hand, we recommend contacting your local regulatory authority to obtain them, as we will need them to complete our due diligence checks.

**My nonprofit does not require to be registered**

If your nonprofit does not require registration to operate, we will not be able to verify your nonprofit status at this time as its a part of our verification requirement.

We recognize that many types of organizations make a valuable social impact and may have legal statuses that differ from Goodstack's nonprofit definitions. We are continually exploring ways to allow more organizations to apply for discounts in the future.
