Verify a Government Letter's Contact Route Before Calling Back
A logo and a phone number in a message are not proof that the sender is the agency it names.
Compare the sender's claimed agency with a contact route you independently locate on its official site; record the source checked and questions to ask without assessing the notice's legal effect.
What changes the result: the exact agency name, official website source, and questions you want to verify.
Privacy: Calculations run in this browser tab. This tool has no input-upload, account, or AI endpoint. The site may send a page-view signal to Cloudflare; this tool does not add form entries to that signal. A draft is stored only if you choose “Save draft on this device”; that browser storage is not encrypted. Avoid identifiers or sensitive details, and delete saved drafts when finished.
Your entries
The starting rows below are fictional examples. Edit them, replace them with non-sensitive labels and values, or load the sample again. The result is not advice or a source verification.
Amount fields use the same units you enter; the app does not choose a currency. Dates are the ones you provide. Up to 100 rows per run.

What the calculation does
Count short labels that lack a source, location, review date, or confirmed status, depending on the row type. The tool stores pointers, not the underlying documents, meter accounts, access codes, or proof that a record is current.
Question to keep open: Should a person call back the number printed on a notice or find the agency contact independently first?
Boundary: This card cannot authenticate a letter or caller. Never share account credentials, one-time codes, payment-card details, or personal identifiers with an unverified contact; use a verified official site or known agency channel.
Copy includes the headline, aggregate metrics, and boundary—not the row-by-row input. The CSV contains entries you choose to download. Review it before sharing.
