Second identity verification Legit?

Hi, in regard to a "Skill certification assessment" I was asked from  **Edited for Community Guidelines** to do a second identity verification. Attached is a Google Forms where I should put in my E-Mail. 

**Edited for Community Guidelines**

Is this a legit procedure? So an official mail?
I'm asking because I did the verification a week ago.

Best,
Stefan

Hi Stefan,

 

Although we sometimes require verification more than once, I'm going to have this communication you received checked by the team and will get back to you once we have more information. 

 

Thank you,

Hi Stefan, 


Thank you for patiently waiting as we looked into this further, and I apologize for the misunderstanding. I can confirm that this email and form are from the team. At this time, there is no need for you to fill the form as you have already completed the verification needed for this certification. Please disregard the email.

The following post has nothing to do with the rest of this thread:

 

If I owned a big website, and I wanted to ask users to participate in identity verification procedures... I would not ask people to use Google sheets or Google Forms, etc.

 

These are third-party, easily accessible, non-secure tools that are used widely by scammers.
