Before any profile goes live, a member of our team looks at the photos. Anything that looks borrowed, edited or fake doesn’t get through.
2A selfie check
We ask for a quick selfie to make sure the person in the photos is the person on the profile.
3An ID check for the Verified badge
Members can check their ID with Yoti in about a minute. Yoti checks the document and tells us it matched. We never see or keep the document.
