How to get verified on OnlyFans

Getting verified is one of the first hurdles you’ll encounter as an OnlyFans Creator, and it’s an essential step to success on the platform. 

OnlyFans has a strict authentication process to ensure a safe and secure environment for Creators and subscribers. 

This guide will walk you through the OnlyFans verification process, providing clear, actionable steps to help you achieve verified status.

We'll explore why verification matters, what you need to prepare, and how to submit your application successfully.

Step 1: Verify your email address

Start by verifying your email address.

Look for a red warning flag prompting you to complete this step.

You'll get a confirmation email sent straight to your inbox.

If it's not there, click the "verify email" button to resend it. 

Click the verification link in the email to proceed.

Step 2: Complete your OnlyFans profile

The next step is to complete your profile by adding an image, personal details, and your bank details.

Use your legal name and information at this stage—you can update it with a stage name later if you want.

Add your bank details

To add your bank information:

1. Open the menu on the left

2. Select Add bank

3. Click More

4. Enter your payment details

Then, follow these steps:

• Select your country.

• Select complete verification.

• Accept the terms and conditions.

Step 3: Verify your identification

For the next step, you'll need a mobile device with a camera.

If you're on a computer, you can get a link via text or scan a QR code.

Don’t worry—none of the information you share here will be made public.

• Once you're in the Ondato verification for OnlyFans, agree to their terms. 

• Then, choose a government-issued document to verify your identity. You can use a passport, ID card, or driver's license, but you’ll likely have the best results if you use your passport. 

• Take pictures of both sides of your document. Include the entire document without cropping. Make sure the lighting is good and that there’s no glare. 

• Fill out the information exactly as it appears in the document provided.

Step 4: Take a selfie

The next step is to upload a selfie following the instructions provided by Ondato.

• Use a plain, white background with good lighting

• Remove accessories like glasses or hats

At this stage, OnlyFans may require some additional information:

• Address: Provide your home address in a simple format. 

• Social media links: Set social media profiles to public during the verification process. 

• Selfie holding ID document: Take a final selfie while holding your document

You’ll hear back from OnlyFans within 72 hours, but you will usually know if you've been approved within a day.

Common reasons your verification is rejected 

Here are some of the most common reasons for your verification to fail:

• Expired ID: If your ID is expired, your profile will be rejected. Be sure to use a current, valid form of ID. 

• Incorrect file format: Your pictures have to be uploaded as JPG or PNG files smaller than 7MB. 

• Photo issues: OnlyFans may reject your account if your photos are too dark or blurry. 

• Inaccurate information: Are there any spelling mistakes, typos, or missing information in the required fields? These small errors can all lead to your account being rejected.

• Policy violation: Your profile will not be verified if you provide a fake document, suggest third-party payment processors, or violate OnlyFans’ Community Guidelines.

Troubleshooting verification problems

Here are some tips for troubleshooting verification issues:

• Turn off any VPN connections.

• Make sure you're using the latest code from the authenticator app. It gives you a new 6-digit code every time you open it or every 30 seconds while you're using it.

• Try uninstalling and reinstalling the authenticator app. Before uninstalling, turn off two-step verification so you don't get locked out. 

• Check your device's date and time if you see an "Incorrect Code" error. This error often happens because your authenticator app's time isn't synced correctly.
