It was easy to provide the information for an existing business you're completely unrelated to. Reliably verifying that a person actually represents a company isn't possible in most of the world.

Many countries has official register of companies with at least post box address. Requiring to answer a physical letter sent to an address from the central register will be much more reliable.

  • Sure, and then someone just registers a company with the exact same name in another jurisdiction and EV is thwarted anyway

    • IMO it would make sense to tie into the trademark system. Allowing companies to build a brand reputation and protect it from impersonators is literally the whole point of that part of our legal system.

      Imagine if only the owner of the McDonald's trademark could issue a certificate which displays the McDonald's name and logo, for example.
