Step 1: Verify Your Email Address

• Look for a red banner prompting email verification in your account.
• Click “Verify Email” to receive a confirmation link.
• If you don’t see the email, check spam or request it again.
• Click the link to confirm and move on.

Step 2: Complete Your OnlyFans Profile

A complete profile builds trust and is required for approval.

Include:

• A profile image and cover photo
• Your legal name (you can change to a stage name later)
• Bank details so you can receive payments
  
  To add bank details:

1. Open the left menu and select Add Bank
2. Enter your payment information
3. Select your country and complete verification
4. Accept the terms and conditions

Step 3: Verify Your Identification

OnlyFans uses Ondato for secure ID verification. You can use:

• Passport (recommended)
• Driver’s license

• National ID card

  Tips for success:

• Take clear, glare-free photos
• Include the full document (both sides if applicable)
• Match your account details exactly to your ID

Step 4: Take a Selfie

Follow Ondato’s instructions carefully:

• Use a plain white background
• Ensure good lighting

• Remove accessories like hats or glasses
   

  ´You may also be asked for:

• Your home address
• Public links to social media accounts
• A selfie holding your ID
  
  Most verifications are processed within 24 hours, though OnlyFans allows up to 72.

Common Reasons for Rejection

• Expired ID
• Incorrect file format (must be JPG or PNG under 7MB)
• Blurry or poorly lit photos
• Mismatched personal information
• Policy violations such as fake documents or third-party payment links

Troubleshooting Verification Problems

• Disable VPN before verifying
• Ensure your authenticator app time is synced with your device
• Uninstall and reinstall your authenticator app (disable two-step verification first)
• Double-check all personal details match your documents
