FREQUENTLY ASKED CONSUMER QUESTIONS ABOUT THE PERMITORATING

How Does the National Association of PERMITORS Calculate the PERMITORating?

The National Association of PERMITORating is based on public data collected from various sources, including:

  • Information provided by the PERMITOR in their profile
  • Public records, such as background checks
  • Endorsements from colleagues
  • Client reviews and professional feedback

Our algorithm processes this data and assigns a numerical rating from 1 to 10. If there is insufficient data, a PERMITOR may receive a classification of “Attention” or “No Concern” based on the available information. Factors such as experience, education, and professional qualifications influence the rating.

While all the relevant data is displayed on a PERMITOR’s profile, we do not disclose the exact formula or weighting of each factor. This ensures the integrity and fairness of the rating system, preventing individuals from manipulating their scores unfairly—similar to how search engines protect their ranking algorithms.

The numerical ratings provide a relative comparison among PERMITORs. A lower rating does not necessarily indicate poor performance—it may simply reflect limited available data or a lack of verified credentials.

IMPORTANT: Only registered PERMIT EXPEDITERS with verified credentials and insurance are eligible for a PERMITOR Rating. This ensures that all professionals listed meet industry standards and can be fairly compared.

If a PERMITOR lacks sufficient public data, we classify them under:

  • “Attention” – Indicates relevant public records, such as disciplinary actions.
  • “No Concern” – No red flags detected, but additional research is recommended.

Regardless of classification, we encourage users to conduct their own research on any PERMITOR before making a decision.

We do not provide a rating in cases where it would be irrelevant, such as when a PERMITOR is deceased or holds a public office.

Additionally, a PERMITOR may request to remove their rating, provided they have no disciplinary history and are not actively seeking clients. These profiles will display “National Association of PERMITORating Not Displayed” and will not appear in our search listings.
