New Member Verification Standards Explained

A verified badge isn't just a formality; it's meant to give buyers a real signal that a studio is who it says it is. Verification looks at business registration where applicable, a portfolio review, and confirmation of contact details. It isn't a rating and it doesn't guarantee quality; it confirms identity and legitimacy, not artistic merit. Buyers should still look at portfolios and reviews to judge fit and style. Member studios can apply for verification directly from their dashboard; the review is manual, so it can take a little while during busier periods.
