For GitHub Apps

Certain apps on the {% data variables.product.prodname_marketplace %} have the {% octicon "verified" aria-label="The verified badge" %} badge and a tooltip that says "Publisher domain and email verified". This means that the app is owned by an organization that has:

• Verified ownership of their domain and has a verified badge on their profile
• Confirmed their email address so {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %} Support can reach the organization
• Required two-factor authentication for their organization. For more information, see "Requiring two-factor authentication in your organization."

{% note %} {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %} does not analyze the app. The marketplace badge {% octicon "verified" aria-label="The verified badge" %} only confirms that the publisher meets the requirements listed above. {% endnote %}

To learn how you can add this badge to your app, see "Applying for publisher verification for your organization."

Some apps on the {% data variables.product.prodname_marketplace %} have the {% octicon "verified" aria-label="The verified badge" %} badge and a tooltip that says "App meets the requirements for listing" instead of, "Publisher domain and email verified." This means that the app meets the listing requirements described in "Requirements for listing an app," but the publisher has not been verified, as described in "Applying for publisher verification for your organization". Apps with this badge cannot change their pricing plan until the publisher successfully applies for verification.

For more information about the requirements for listing an app on {% data variables.product.prodname_marketplace %}, see "Requirements for listing an app on {% data variables.product.prodname_marketplace %}."

For information on finding apps to use, see "Searching {% data variables.product.prodname_marketplace %}."

For GitHub actions

Actions with the {% octicon "verified" aria-label="The verified badge" %}, or verified creator badge, indicate that {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %} has verified the creator of the action as a partner organization.

For information on how to publish a GitHub action to {% data variables.product.prodname_marketplace %}, see "Publishing actions in GitHub Marketplace."
