Transition to Verra’s New Registry

The new registry will feature the following:

• Improved integration with the Verra Project Hub, enabling project proponents to prepare project documents and move through the full project lifecycle (i.e., registration, monitoring) with greater efficiency
• Expanded digitization of the project cycle and system connectivity
• Transparent and customizable reporting tools, giving buyers and other market participants better insight into project-level data and projects’ issuance histories
• Specific improvements to the user experience, including the following:
  • Faster ability for administrators to add or remove labels at the unit level
  • Streamlined KYC (Know Your Customer) process that integrates the project document submission and KYC questionnaire into the account request process
  • Improved ability for administrators to maintain the VCS and JNR buffers
  • Enhanced data tracking at each verification, including the applicable methodology and version, plus the ability to identify a project’s validation/verification body (VVB)
  • Improved document types for joint template and multi-standard projects to eliminate the burden of uploading duplicate files
  • A new status-driven issuance process that will improve clarity and efficiency for requests
  • Improvements to searchability, reporting and navigation

• Proponents will still be able to carry out the same core functions that are inherent to the current registry, including managing projects, requesting issuances, and transferring and retiring units.
• Verra will also continue to manage and provide customer support for all registry users.

To prepare for the transition to the new Verra Registry, please take the following steps:

1. Review and Update Account Information
   • Navigate to the “My Account Setup” tab and select “Change Profile.”
   • Confirm that Organization Information, Billing Information, and Account Manager Information are correct and up to date.
   • If updates are required, please contact the Verra Registry team at registry@verra.org for assistance ASAP

2. Confirm Your User List Is Updated

Note: This is a key step in preparing for a change in accessing user accounts in the new Verra Registry, where users will log in with their email address and complete two-factor authentication.

• • Navigate to “Account Management” and select “Review/Edit/Add Logins.”
  • Confirm that the list of users is correct and complete, and that all email addresses are up to date so that all users under this account can log in once the new registry is live. (Note: We strongly advise you not to use emails associated with shared inboxes. After logging in for the first time, you will have the option to designate a different email for notifications, if desired.)

Additionally, we ask that Account Managers do the following:

• • Verify that all user details are correct
  • Deactivate users who no longer require access
  • Create any new user accounts as needed ahead of the transition

3. Validate Project Records
   • Review all projects within your account to ensure that project details are accurate and current.
   • If updates are required, please contact the Verra Registry team at registry@verra.org for assistance ASAP.

4. Settle Outstanding Invoices
   • Please pay any outstanding invoices prior to the transition to ensure your account is in good standing.
   • Please contact the Verra Finance team at billing@verra.org ASAP.

5. Download Key Reports for Record Keeping
   We suggest downloading the following reports and keeping a copy for your records:
   • My Event Log
   • My Accounts
   • My Units
   • My Invoices
   • Unit Transfer History

While all data will be migrated to the new registry, we recommend downloading these reports for comparison and review at go-live.
