What is the BVD*BeenVerified.com charge on my card?
Who charged you
BeenVerified people search and public records website
BVD*BeenVerified.com is BeenVerified, a US people search and public records website. The charge is usually its membership: a 7-day trial that renews as a monthly or three-monthly plan unless it is canceled in time, or a later renewal of that plan.

Find out what it was
- 1
Search your inbox and spam for BeenVerified, including a Welcome New Member email: it carries the nine-digit membership ID and shows which email address signed up.
- 2
Count back from the charge: a first full charge about 7 days after someone signed up points to a 7-day trial that rolled into a membership.
- 3
Compare the amount with earlier lines: the same amount every month points to a monthly plan, a larger amount every three months to a quarterly one.
- 4
Check the subscriptions in your Apple ID or Google Play account: an app membership bills there, so a BVD* line means the plan was taken on the website.
- 5
Ask others who use your card whether they looked someone up, traced an unknown caller or ran a vehicle search.

Not in any of your accounts? If nobody in your household made it, someone else may have used your card details. Your card issuer can stop the card, so the charges do not continue.
Why does it say “BVD*BeenVerified.com”?
BeenVerified lists five names its charges can carry: BVD*BeenVerified.com, BVC*BeenVerified.com, BV*BeenVerified.com, BEENVERIFIED INC. and BeenVerified.com. The letters before the asterisk all start with BV, for BeenVerified, and the line names the website, not the search you ran or the report you bought.
A membership bought in the BeenVerified app on an iPhone or an Android device is billed by Apple or Google instead, so it shows as an App Store or Google Play charge, not under these names. A BVD*, BVC* or BV* line points to a plan or purchase made on the website.
Why you might see this charge
- A 7-day membership trial that turned into a paid monthly plan because it was not canceled before the trial ended.
- A plan billed every 3 months, which takes a larger amount once a quarter.
- A renewal: memberships renew for the same term until they are canceled, whether or not anyone uses them.
- A one-time purchase made on the website.
- A search someone else in the household ran with your card, for example to look up a caller, a seller or a date.
Is BVD*BeenVerified.com legit?
Yes. BeenVerified, LLC is a real US company that sells people search and public records reports by membership, and the five names on its own billing list are its normal charges. Its terms say the card is charged on a recurring basis and that not using the service is no reason to stop the fees, so a plan nobody uses keeps renewing until it is canceled.
If a text or email that uses BeenVerified's name asks for card details through a link, do not use it. Check the charge against your own inbox and statement instead.

Questions about BVD*BeenVerified.com
What is BVD*BeenVerified.com on my credit card?
It is a charge from BeenVerified, a people search and public records website. BVD* is one of the names on BeenVerified's own list of billing names, and the charge is usually a membership, often one that started as a 7-day trial.
What is NNT BEENVERIFIED on my statement?
BeenVerified's own list of statement names does not include NNT, and the same letters also turn up in front of other company names, such as Microsoft, so we cannot say where they come from. If the line also says BeenVerified, check it as a BeenVerified charge: look for the Welcome New Member email and compare the date with any trial.
Why is BeenVerified charging me every month?
A BeenVerified membership renews for the same term until it is canceled, every month or every three months. A 7-day trial becomes a paid plan when the trial ends, and not using the service does not stop the charges.
Is BVC*BeenVerified the same company?
Yes. BVC*, BV* and BVD* in front of BeenVerified.com, BEENVERIFIED INC. and plain BeenVerified.com are all names BeenVerified lists for its own charges.
What if I did not agree to a BeenVerified charge?
File a complaint on Complain.biz. We write it with you and send it to BeenVerified, so you do not have to chase it yourself.
