Verification of RIF buyers as private seller

This conversation has gone on a few times in the forum

The majority of members will not endorse ‘defences’ that appear to be evading the law

(We know that it’s possible to buy with inappropriate ‘defences)

In this thread though, the original question is how can a private seller validate a valid defence 

 
It bothers me a bit that UKARA is run by... never you mind.

I can't see anything on ukara.org.uk, no general contact information, no phone number.

The best I can find from what they're required to publish appears to be a farmhouse in Cornwall.

Funny enough when I mentioned on Facebook that a friend of mine was working on a new 'airsoft defense' system that would be independently audited by an IT security firm on a yearly basis, I still had some people commenting they wouldn't trust the new system, how they were afraid of their details being "out there", even though they were already registered with UKARA had been for years. 

They were seemingly under some false pretence that the UKARA was stored on a non Internet connected stand-alone PC in some high security vault...

There were rumours of it being stored on a stack of floppies and a Macintosh Colour Classic.

So, granted, it's only vulnerable to being hacked by 1990s alien hive minds.
