- Most applications are reviewed within 5–10 business days once payment is confirmed. Complex cases requiring guild-reference verification may take up to 3 weeks.
- Is the ID recognized outside Liberia?
- Yes. The LIFI credential is recognized by our co-production partners, festival networks, and diaspora chapters. QR verification works globally.
