Get Certified
Apply for the Blue Badge.
The application takes fifteen minutes. Our team replies within five business days. Most organisations complete certification in eight to twelve weeks.
Timeline
Eight to twelve weeks, end to end.
The exact duration depends on the breadth of your AI footprint and how quickly you can return evidence. Complex or multi-jurisdiction scopes can run longer; we tell you in week one.
01
Day 0 — Day 5
Application & reply
You submit a fifteen-minute application describing your organisation, scope, and AI footprint. Our certification team replies within five business days with a scoping note and engagement letter.
02
Week 1 — Week 2
Scoping & evidence request
We agree the systems and business units in scope, issue a tailored evidence request, and assign a lead reviewer. You upload documentation through a secure portal.
03
Week 3 — Week 6
Independent assessment
The reviewer assesses your AI use against the five pillars of EUMS, interviews owners of in-scope systems, and prepares a draft scorecard with findings.
04
Week 6 — Week 8
Findings & remediation window
You receive the draft findings privately. Most organisations address one or two items here before the file goes to the board. Nothing is public yet.
05
Week 8 — Week 12
Board review & issuance
The independent board reviews the file and votes on certification. If approved, your Blue Badge is issued, your scope and score band are added to the public registry, and you receive the mark for use.
