How verification works
After you join the waitlist, create an account and complete a private check before nearby opens.
What you do
- Join the waitlist, then create your account
- Complete a private check on your phone
- Wait for the result (usually within a day)
What we check
- That you are a real, live person
- That later checks match your private verification face — not your public gallery
- That the same face isn't reused across accounts
You do not need a face on your public profile. Privacy and retention details are on verification without outing you.
