These are the official NYI marks. Members display them on their own websites, and every badge links back to the member's live profile here — so anyone can verify it in one click.
License, insurance and identity confirmed with the state. The entry mark every member starts with.
Five-plus years, checked references and a passed ethics exam. The mark to look for first.
The highest honor. Peer-nominated veterans with a case record that speaks for itself.
Five licensed years in business.
Ten licensed years in business.
Twenty or more licensed years.
Verified client reviews, re-checked yearly.
Paste this snippet into your website footer or contact page. Swap in your badge file and your profile link. The badge tells clients you were vetted — and the link proves it.
Badge files are served from this site. If a membership ends, the file stops resolving — so a fake or expired badge breaks in public view.
The badge must link to your live NYI profile. That link is the verification.
No recoloring, cropping or edits. The mark only works if it always looks the same.
Lapsed or revoked members must remove the badge. We check, and the file stops loading either way.
Earn it first. Membership is open to every licensed PI in New York.
