Identity Verification & Member Safety

What our verification process actually confirms, what it doesn't, and why that distinction matters every time you talk to someone new.

What Verification Does

What Verification Does Not Do

Identity Verified does not mean Safety Verified.

Verification confirms the ID a member submitted is consistent with the age and identity on their application. That's the full extent of it — nothing here should be read as a claim about who someone actually is once you start talking to them.

Use Your Own Judgment

An Identity Verified badge is one input, not a conclusion. Whether someone is trustworthy is something only you can assess, over time, through how they actually communicate and behave — not from a badge on their profile. This matters most before you share personal information or agree to meet someone in person.
