How long does verification take?
Updated 12 October 2026
The Short Answer
Instant, when it matches. If the email you sign in with is on the CEA register, PropKaki verifies you by itself. Verify by Email answers the moment you press it, and Verify by WhatsApp finishes once your code arrives. If the team has to verify you by hand, a person usually replies on WhatsApp within the day.
What decides the wait is whether your email or mobile matches your CEA record, not the day you ask.
How fast is the automatic check?
Instant. When the email you sign in with is on your CEA record, PropKaki finds your licence and verifies you by itself, so Account Settings → Verification may already read Keep your details current — they carry your Verified badge.
How long does it take by hand?
When neither button can match you, the team verifies you by hand. Press Contact support on WhatsApp on the Verification tab, or Ask the team on WhatsApp from the help button in the corner — A person replies, usually within the day.
Send your licence number with the message so the team can check it against the register straight away.
Can I speed it up?
Yes. Both quick routes compare you with your own CEA record, so:
- Sign in with the email on your CEA record and press Verify by Email, or
- Link the WhatsApp number on your CEA record and press Verify by WhatsApp.
If CEA has an old email or mobile for you, update it with CEA first — see My licence details are wrong.
