What counts as a report source

Official sources are the backbone of each tool. We link readers to the authority that can confirm the rule, application, fee, evidence standard, or renewal requirement.

Prepared by AppsVerified Research · Reviewed July 13, 2026

Preferred sources

  • Government departments, licensing boards, revenue agencies, and official city or county pages.
  • Official application portals, published guidance, forms, statutes, regulations, and agency notices.
  • Official national or state/territory sources for Australia migration planning.

Secondary sources

A secondary source may help explain terminology or locate a controlling page, but it does not replace the official source when a primary source is available.

Dates and changes

  • Each report includes the source review date used to build it.
  • A source date is not a promise that the authority has made no later change.
  • Customers should reopen official sources before filing, paying a fee, sitting an exam, signing a lease, or relying on a points claim.

Broken or conflicting sources

If an official page is unavailable or conflicts with another controlling source, we may pause the affected paid path, label the uncertainty, or direct the reader to contact the authority.
