Verification is required for providers who want to publish or keep an active advertisement on Velvet22.
We use verification to help protect the quality, safety, and trustworthiness of the platform. This is important for both providers and visitors. For providers, verification helps protect genuine profiles and creates a more reliable environment to advertise. For visitors, it helps create more trust that the profiles they view are real and meet Velvet22’s quality standards.
Our goal is to keep Velvet22 a high-quality platform with genuine profiles, safer interactions, and a better experience for everyone.
What do I need to submit?
During verification, you may be asked to submit:
-
A clear selfie with the required handwritten sign
-
A valid government-issued ID
-
Additional information if requested by our team
Please make sure all images are clear, readable, complete, and not edited or filtered.
Are my documents public?
No. Your verification documents are reviewed privately by the Velvet22 team and are never displayed publicly on your profile.
Velvet22 takes privacy seriously. Verification documents are used only for safety, trust, and account review purposes. We do not use your documents for marketing, public display, or profile promotion.
Government ID documents are not kept longer than necessary for the verification review. After a verification has been approved, ID document files are removed from our active storage. We may keep limited verification records, such as review status and audit information, where needed for platform safety, fraud prevention, legal compliance, or dispute handling.
How long does verification take?
Completing the verification form usually only takes a few minutes if you have your documents ready.
Most verification submissions are reviewed within 3 business days. Many submissions are reviewed faster, especially when the uploaded documents are clear, complete, and meet all requirements.
Velvet22 aims to keep verification reviews relatively fast compared to many platforms in the industry. We understand that the shorter the review time, the better the experience for providers. Our team works on the platform 7 days a week, although review capacity may be lower during weekends, holidays, or especially busy periods.
What happens if my verification is rejected?
If your verification is rejected, you will be able to see the reason on your verification page after logging in.
You can then upload your documents again. Please review the reason carefully and make sure your new submission clearly meets the requirements.
Common rejection reasons include:
-
The selfie is unclear or incomplete
-
The handwritten sign is missing or unreadable
-
The ID document is blurry, cropped, expired, or unreadable
-
The ID does not appear to match the submitted selfie
-
The uploaded image appears edited, filtered, or unsuitable for verification
