VHID's (Verified Handles Identifiers) are 11 digit identifiers that identify every entry in the Verified Handles database.
They are shown at the base of every entry and in the URL.
VHID's are permanent, i.e. they are unique to entries and aren't changed. Therefore they can be used for external linking to our database without risk of change. We advise against using any redirects (a-z letter) based links for authoritative linking to entries.
