When you’re not here to swipe endlessly, trust becomes the first filter. At wanted.love, verification is simple and private: either take a webcam selfie inside your profile or book a short live video call with our team. No ID scans, no document uploads—just a fast check that protects your time and raises reply quality.
Why verification matters
- Fewer fakes and dead ends. Catfishing and copy-paste messages drop when accounts are accountable.
- Faster progress. With baseline trust, moving from chat to meeting is easier.
- Better replies. People respond more seriously to verified profiles.

Prefer a human check or had camera issues? Book a short live video call. We confirm face-to-profile in real time and complete verification on the spot.
Privacy & security
- No document uploads. We don’t request or store ID documents.
- Only status is public. Your profile shows a small “Verified” badge—never your selfie or private data.
- Re-verify anytime after name changes or if you update your photos.
Make your verified profile stand out
- Photos: 3–5 recent images in a consistent style (business-casual or outdoor).
- Intent line: one sentence that sets expectations (“Here for a committed relationship.”).
- Conversation cues: add two prompts in your bio (“Ask me about…”) to spark first messages.
- First message template:
“Hi [Name], we’re both verified here. I liked your note about [topic]. Coffee next week near [place]?”
Common mistakes to avoid
Only group shots, heavy filters that change your face, or vague bios like “let’s see what happens.”
