Verification Management Account Setup
LifeRing uses an outside vendor to manage our meeting calendar and our verification process. In order to manage your verifications, you must first sign up for a Pathcheck verification plan.
This service is free if you request verifications within 7 days of the meeting. If you need verifications for meetings held later than that, Pathcheck offers a couple of paid options you can explore.

Verification Management
Congratulations! You’re all set to submit a meeting attendance verification request!
The easiest way is to use the LifeRing Instant Verification form.
- You can find the LifeRing Instant Verification form at the top of every LifeRing Meetings Calendar page:
- Use the Instant Verification search form drop down menus to find the meeting you joined:
- This will take you to the appropriate Get a Verification confirmation page:
If you are unable to find the meeting listed on the Instant Verification Form, the link to the Meeting Attendance Verification form is also posted on the meeting record:
- If you were not in attendance or the screen name you signed in with does not match the screen name listed on your Verification Account, you will receive a screen notification. You can make adjustments directly to the Get a Verification confirmation page:
If you are unable to remember the screen name you used to log in, you can find step-by-step directions to help you manage screen name information and changes here.
- Once approved, a meeting attendance verification will be sent to the email address listed in your Pathcheck account.
Email Subject: Pathcheck Verification for [your name] (verification number and date):
- Here's the anatomy of a LifeRing Meeting Attendance Verification. Note that this meeting ran for 44 minutes, but the record shows 100% attendance.
Your attendance report reflects the percentage of time you were logged into the active meeting.
- If you are present for the entire duration of the meeting, from start to finish, you get 100% attendance credit. This is true even if the meeting ends earlier than scheduled. The "end time" is simply when the meeting officially concludes or the scheduled end time, whichever comes first.
- If you leave the meeting before it ends, your attendance credit will be a percentage less than 100%. Attendance time is calculated on the total scheduled time the meeting was active versus the amount of time you were present.
If you feel your attendance time does not accurately reflect your attendance, please reach out directly to Pathcheck using their support form or email [email protected].

Resolving Common Issues
Additional solutions can be found on our Verifications FAQ webpage
- Meeting verification record is missing:
If you cannot find the verification record, it is either because the meeting has not been closed or the data has not yet been uploaded to Pathcheck. Please check back later. Please note that actual meeting end times may be later than scheduled end times to support additional shares or extended topic discussions. See Verification Management above.
- Pathcheck can't find your screen name for a specific meeting:
Your Zoom Screen Name must match the screen name that you used when you logged in. Look on your personal Zoom account profile to find your default screen name.
SmartPhone:
Here are step directions to help you manage screen name information and changes.
- Verifications for meetings held more than 7-days ago:
Verification attendance reporting is a free service if you submit verifications within 7 days of the meeting. If you need verifications for meetings outside of that window, Pathcheck offers additional verification management plans you can explore. - Attendance time discrepancies:
If you feel your attendance time does not accurately reflect your attendance, please reach out directly to Pathcheck using their support form or email [email protected].
