Review the mandatory registration requirements, fee information, privacy details and waiver option on this page before you proceed.
Four clear steps
From registration to grant application
Follow these steps to complete the required registration and verification process safely.
Register with the provider
Complete the approved registration process and provide the details required for identity checks, including your NIN and legal name information.
Verify your identity
An independent third-party provider checks whether your details match the information supplied for registration.
Apply after approval
Only applicants who pass registration and verification are approved to proceed with a grant application using the reference received.
Verification fee disclosure
What applicants must know
- Independent provider
- Metropol Uganda CRB Ltd
- Published verification fee
- USD 34.04
- Effective date
- 2026-07-20
- Official payment method
- To be confirmed in the approved provider instructions
- Expected verification time
- 24hrs
- How the fee is used
- To cover the third-party verification provider charge and directly related administrative costs.
The verification fee is modest, non-refundable and does not guarantee eligibility, approval, priority or funding. It covers the independent verification service and related administration only.
Unable to afford the verification fee?
Request a confidential fee waiver before paying.
A waiver request does not reduce an applicant's eligibility or priority.
Fraud prevention
Recognize the official boundaries
Registration comes before application
All prospective applicants must complete registration and verification before any grant application can be submitted.
Payment never guarantees a grant
No payment can guarantee approval, accelerate review, increase an award or release grant funds.
Identity information stays out of the grant form
The independent provider checks your NIN and legal identity details. Rainbow Lighthouse does not request your NIN directly in the grant form.

Financial accountability
Aggregate reporting without exposing applicants.
Because the verification provider collects its charge directly, Rainbow Lighthouse does not treat the charge as unrestricted organizational income.
Periodic transparency reporting will use aggregate figures supplied or reconciled through the approved provider relationship. Reports will not publish names, NINs, verification references, contact information or applicant stories.
Already registered and verified?
Continue to the grant application.
Keep your verification reference available. Rainbow Lighthouse will independently check it before any award decision or payment.
