# evidencectl request verify command reference

> Generated syntax and options for evidencectl request verify.

{/* Generated from Clap command definitions by scripts/generate-cli-reference.mjs. Run npm run generate. */}

Deprecated alias for `evidencectl verify`.

## Contract status

This page is generated from the public Clap command tree for Registry Stack source version `0.30.0` and catalog SHA-256 `2221f17eae216048d4cfaf7f66e3dcd68a250f6f6de4e24b177441819192b475`. Hidden implementation commands are omitted.

## Description

Deprecated alias for `evidencectl verify`. `evidencectl verify` is the one verification command, and it takes the same arguments. This spelling keeps working so a script that already calls it is not broken by the rename.

## Usage

```text
evidencectl request verify [OPTIONS] --context <CONTEXT> --output <OUTPUT> <RESPONSE>
```

## Arguments

| Argument | Always required | Default | Values | Environment | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `<RESPONSE>` | Yes | n/a | n/a | n/a | Signed JWS or SD-JWT VC response returned by Evidence Gateway |

## Options

| Option | Always required | Default | Values | Environment | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `--context <CONTEXT>` | Yes | n/a | n/a | n/a | Owner-only verification context retained before the response existed |
| `--output <OUTPUT>` | Yes | n/a | n/a | n/a | New owner-only file for the exact verified Evidence Gateway payload |
| `--format <output_format>` | No | `human` | `human`, `json` | n/a | Select human-readable or machine-readable output |
| `-h, --help` | No | n/a | n/a | n/a | Print help (see a summary with '-h') |

## Generation contract
