I was greatly alarmed when I read that, but then I dug into it a little.

That statement comes from
http://businessprofile.geotrust.com/get.jsp?1869067182

That URL is found in the (recently expired) SSL server cert for
https://www.registerfly.com/

It appears in the middle of a small page, just below the information
identifying the party to whom the SSL server cert cert was issued (the
"Subject" or "Subscriber"), in this case, registerfly.  There is NO
information following (that is, below) that statement on that page.

So, as I read it, geotrust is not saying that they didn't verify the
information about the name and address of registerfly in any way.
They're saying that registerfly could have provided additional
self-reported information, and if they had done so, it would appear on
that page following that disclaimer, but apparently they did not do so.
