# 5.2 Issuance Process

Credits are issued against a specific mitigation outcome. This process takes place once the mitigation outcome has been verified. Credits are always issued to the specified beneficiary, as set out in section [3.1](/readme/3-project-requirements/3.1-ownership.md). The project developer can then deliver credits to buyer credit accounts on the registry, at a time and in an order of their choosing.
