Verification

The process
Fill in the application form. Tell us who you are, share a verifiable public profile link and explain why you are applying. Takes two minutes.
The Opine team manually reviews every application. We check your public profile, verify your identity and assess your application against our criteria. This typically takes 2-5 business days.
We will email you with our decision. If approved, your verified badge appears on your profile and all your opines immediately. If unsuccessful, we will tell you why.
Once verified, your plan upgrades automatically to Pro (or Organisation). All verified features are immediately available in your dashboard.
