How to Verify Your OnlyFans Account: Creator Verification Step by Step

OnlyFans is a platform for people who want to share content for money. This guide explains how verification works and what problems can come up along the way.

First you need to register on onlyfans.com: enter your email, choose a name and a password. You can also sign up quickly with a Google account.

How verification works

OnlyFans has two kinds of users: creators and fans. Creators produce and publish content, and fans pay to view it.

Fans do not need to verify their identity. It is enough to register, accept the terms, confirm you are of legal age by ticking the box and add a bank card.

Cards issued in some countries are not accepted. For example, cards issued in Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan do not work. Check that your card can be used for international online payments.

If you plan to earn on the platform, you need to verify your identity as a creator:

1. In the left menu, open your profile settings and click Become a creator.

2. Fill in your profile: upload a header photo and an avatar, and add your name, age and interests.
3. Choose your country of residence and confirm that you are of legal age.
4. Click the full verification button.
5. Scan the QR code on the screen with your phone camera and open the link.
6. Photograph your ID (passport, driver's license or ID card) and take a selfie.
7. Upload the photo of your ID and the photo of your face together with that document.
8. Fill in your personal details and add links to your Instagram or Twitter account.
9. Submit the application for review.

Approval usually takes 24 to 48 hours.

Identity documents from some countries are not accepted for creator verification. For example, citizens of Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan cannot verify as creators with a passport or driver's license from those countries. Check which documents OnlyFans accepts for your country before you apply.

If verification is rejected

You will receive an email with the reasons. Fix the problems and submit a new application. Typical causes are blurry document photos, an expired document, or details that do not match the document.

After verification

Once your account passes the check, you get creator status and can start earning on the platform. You will need to add a payout method from the available options and set the price of your subscription.

What a verified creator account gives you

1. Earning: you can publish and monetize content and receive subscriptions, tips and paid messages.
2. Promotion tools: you can use promotion and marketing features such as promotions and discounts.
3. Trust: verification builds trust with your audience.
4. Statistics: you can track the performance of your content to improve your strategy.

Verification can look confusing, but with patience and attention to detail the process is straightforward.
