Can you bypass OnlyFans Verification as a Creator?

To sign up as an OnlyFans Creator, you have to go through a verification process. 

If you’re wondering how the process works and whether it’s possible to bypass OnlyFans verification, you’ve come to the right place. 

In this article, we’ll give you an overview of how OnlyFans verification works, why you need to confirm your age to be a verified Creator, if it’s possible to bypass verification, and what implications it may have. 

OnlyFans verification process

Due to the nature of the platform, OnlyFans needs to verify the identity of Creators to ensure they’re at least 18 years old. 

The verification process is pretty simple. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to get verified on OnlyFans. 

1. Verify your email address

First, you’ll need to verify your email address.

OnlyFans will send an email to the address you provided during registration. Simply click the verification link in the email or copy and paste it into your browser. You will then be redirected to your OnlyFans profile.

2. Add your avatar, header image, and bio

OnlyFans will ask you to add your avatar, header image, and bio as a second step. You can come back to this later, so don’t overthink it! 

3. Verify your identity

This is the most important step of your OnlyFans verification process. OnlyFans uses third-party provider Ondato to verify your ID. After you agree to the Terms of Service, the system will suggest you continue the authentication process on your mobile device.

You’ll see a QR code: scan it and access the page. 

Your computer will automatically detect that you are continuing the verification process from a different device.

If you’re not able to scan the QR code, you can request to have the link sent to your phone number. Alternatively, you can manually enter the link into your mobile phone’s browser.

Now, you will be asked to verify your identity. Have your passport, identity card, or driver's license ready.

Then, you need to take a picture of the front and the back of your document.

In the last step, you need to take a selfie so that OnlyFans can proceed with your face verification. 

Place your face inside the frame and follow the instructions. 

Your application will be reviewed, and you can expect to receive confirmation soon. OnlyFans’ verification process can take up to 72 hours, but most models get confirmed within a day. 

In the meantime, you can still customize your account so that you can start posting as soon as you hear back!

4. Add your bank details

Your bank account or payment information is necessary in order to set your subscription price or receive tips from your fans once your account has been verified.

Challenges with OnlyFans verification

While the OnlyFans verification process is pretty straightforward, a few issues may arise:

• OnlyFans may reject your document if you submitted a poor-quality image, if your ID is expired, or if the information reported doesn’t match.

• While the verification process is typically quick, there might be some delays due to a high volume of requests. This can be particularly frustrating for models who want to start earning money right away.

If your account is unverified, you may encounter restrictions and limitations.

• You may encounter limitations on the type of content you can post or the features you can access. For example, you won’t be able to message subscribers or set subscription prices.

• If you’re waiting for a payout, you might experience delays.

• As verification is often seen as a sign of legitimacy and trustworthiness on the platform, potential subscribers may view your account with skepticism.
  
  

Tips for successful verification

Being verified on OnlyFans is the first step towards becoming a Creator and monetizing your content. Here are a few tips for a successful verification:

• Take clear pictures of your document where all text is easily readable. Avoid blurry photos and glare. Remember to capture both the front and the back of your document.

• You should use valid documents that have not expired. 

• Always double-check what you wrote and avoid typos or mismatched information.

• OnlyFans might require a secondary form of ID from you. This often happens when the documents submitted are not in English.

• OnlyFans’ verification process helps verify that you are a real person. Besides your ID, you might need to include other social media handles from platforms like X or Instagram.

• Do not promote payment methods outside of OnlyFans in your bio, such as PayPal or Venmo. The platform requires that all payments be issued within OnlyFans.

• Only send .jpg or .png files smaller than 7 MB.

Methods to bypass OnlyFans verification

A few websites and Reddit users claim you can bypass OnlyFans’ verification process by signing up through a different platform that goes by the unofficial name of “OnlyFans Premium.” 

You’ll only be asked to provide your username, password, country of residence, and email address. Their system should automatically bypass the age and ID verification for you.

As simple and hassle-free as it may sound, please know that this violates OnlyFans’ Terms of Service. 

Only people who are at least 18 years of age can be OnlyFans Creators. Besides violating OnlyFans Terms of Service, you’re also providing false information or using fraudulent methods to circumvent age verification. 

This can undermine the platform's integrity as well as the trust and safety of Creators and fans.

The verification process that we described above is the only one approved by OnlyFans. If discovered, accounts that bypass verification processes are likely to be suspended or terminated by OnlyFans.

Safety and security measures

OnlyFans’ safety and security measures are crucial to stay safe online and protect your data. Use strong, unique passwords and set up a two-factor authentication on your OnlyFans account. 

This typically requires you to enter a code sent to your mobile device or email in addition to your password when logging in.

You’ll likely be talking with many users on the platform, so be cautious about sharing your personal information on your OnlyFans profile or in direct messages—including your full name, address, or financial details.

 Community guidelines and support

OnlyFans has clear guidelines when it comes to posting or viewing content on the platform.

The platform uses software and human moderation teams to ensure all Creators are at least 18. Failing to comply with this policy can lead to OnlyFans taking appropriate action against violators.

You can contact OnlyFans directly if you have questions or experience issues while registering and verifying your identity on the platform. 

Stay safe on OnlyFans

OnlyFans verification is necessary to determine the age of Creators, who must be at least 18. 

While there are platforms that allow you to skip this verification, you should know that bypassing the verification process goes against OnlyFans’ Terms of Service. 

Age and identity verification are required to ensure that OnlyFans remains a trusted and safe community for Creators and fans alike. 

Your priority should be staying safe online and having your personal data protected. Always rely on trusted providers or ask OnlyFans directly if in doubt.
