How can I get verified
Why Verification Matters
Section titled “Why Verification Matters”Verification is the bedrock of a safe and trustworthy community. By confirming that profiles belong to real people, we protect both providers and clients from fraud and misuse.
🛑 UK Legal Requirement: New UK laws mandate that we must verify the identity of all service providers before their profiles can be made public. This ensures our full compliance with legal standards while protecting everyone on our platform.
🔒 Privacy & Data Handling (Your Security is Our Priority)
Section titled “🔒 Privacy & Data Handling (Your Security is Our Priority)”We take your privacy and the security of your documents extremely seriously:
- Human Review: All verification is done manually by our trained in-house team.We never use automated third-party services.
- Data Usage: Your documents are securely stored and only used for the purpose of identity verification and legal compliance.
- No Sharing: We do not share your information with any third parties or other users.
What We Check: Required Documents
Section titled “What We Check: Required Documents”To verify your identity, we require the following documents:
- Primary ID: A clear photo of a valid government-issued ID (e.g., passport, driving licence, or national ID card).
- Matching Selfie: A recent, clear photo of your face that matches the person in your Primary ID.
- Proof of Life Selfie: A selfie holding a unique code that we provide to you during the upload process. This confirms the images are live and recent.
- Supporting Documents: (Optional) Sometimes, we may request additional proof (like proof of address) if your ID details are unclear or mismatched.
Make sure all images are clear, well-lit, and all details are visible. Blurry or cropped images will cause delays.
