Why Verification is Required

At FabMeet, we believe that authentic connections start with authentic people. That's why we require all users to verify their identity. Here's everything you need to know about our verification process.

Why We Require Verification

1. Safety First

Your safety is our top priority. Verification helps us ensure that everyone on FabMeet is who they say they are, reducing the risk of catfishing, scams, and fraudulent accounts.

2. Build Trust

When you see a verified badge on someone's profile, you can be confident that they're a real person. This creates a foundation of trust that's essential for meaningful connections.

3. Quality Community

By requiring verification, we maintain a high-quality community of genuine people looking for real relationships. This sets FabMeet apart from other dating apps.

4. Reduce Fake Profiles

Verification dramatically reduces fake profiles, bots, and spam accounts. This means you spend less time worrying about authenticity and more time making connections.

How Verification Works

Step 1: Photo Verification

You'll be asked to take a real-time selfie that matches a specific pose. Our system compares this to your profile photos to confirm you're the same person.

• Takes less than 2 minutes
• Completely secure and private
• Photos are encrypted and not shared publicly
• AI-powered facial recognition technology

Step 2: Phone Number Verification

We verify your phone number through a one-time code sent via SMS. This helps prevent multiple accounts and ensures accountability.

• Your number is kept private and secure
• Not visible to other users
• Used only for account security

Step 3: Optional ID Verification

For an extra layer of trust, users can verify their identity with a government-issued ID. This is completely optional but highly recommended.

• Adds a "Verified Plus" badge to your profile
• Increases trust and match quality
• ID information is encrypted and never shared
• Processed securely and deleted after verification

What Happens After Verification
