# VerifiedHuman

> A global standard and community for human creativity. Creators make an accountable commitment under a published standard and use the mark on qualifying work.

The mark concerns creative contribution, not bot detection, CAPTCHA, biometric identity checks, or an AI-likelihood score. VH3, VH4, and VH5 can qualify when the relevant field requirements are met. Membership belongs to the person or organization; use of the mark belongs on qualifying work. Creator attestation is central. Sample review and audience-triggered investigation add accountability without implying independent examination of every file.

Current standards and definitions are linked below. Education is free to reference and teach; advocates make a support statement rather than certifying creative work. Reviewed library edition: 2026-10-27.
