The candidacy of UEFA President Michel Platini will be considered following the end of his 90-day suspension by FIFA's Ethics Committee imposed in early October.
The FIFA verification process consisted of an integrity check, including "a review of corporate records, litigation cases, bankruptcy proceedings, potential regulatory actions taken against the candidate and a review of media reports concerning potential red flags."
One candidate, President of the Liberia Football Association Musa Hassan Bility, failed the test.
In May 2015, Joseph Blatter won a fifth consecutive FIFA presidential election but four days later resigned following corruption charges. Blatter agreed to continue to carry out the functions of the office until a new president is elected.
The FIFA presidential elections are scheduled for February 26, 2016.
