How to Complete Your Golearnam Verification

You can start your verification from two places: the sidebar navigation in your dashboard, or a reminder banner that appears at the top of your pages until you're verified. Look for "Identity Verification" in the sidebar menu, or click the banner's "Start Verification" link if you see one.

Clicking the link takes you to your verification status page. If you haven't started yet, you'll see a simple prompt explaining what verification unlocks: publishing, payouts, and a verified badge on your profile, with a "Start Verification" button. The whole process takes about 3 minutes.

Before anything is submitted, you'll see exactly what's needed for where you're based: things like your full name, date of birth, ID document type and expiry date, and photos of your document plus a passport-size photo of yourself. Some countries have one or two extra fields, like a national ID number. Every item is marked Required, and nothing is hidden until the last step.

The first step asks for your personal and document details: your full name exactly as it appears on your ID, your date of birth, the type of ID you're using, and any extra field your country requires, such as a national ID number. Fill these in and press Continue. You can't move on until every required field is filled.

The second step asks for your photos: the front of your ID, the back of your ID where it applies, and a recent passport-size photo of yourself. Tap "Add Photo" on each card to take a picture or choose one from your gallery. Each one uploads immediately and shows a checkmark once it's done.

The final step shows everything you entered and uploaded in one list: your details, your document type, and thumbnails of your photos. Each row has an Edit link that takes you straight back to fix it if something's wrong.

Once everything looks right, tap "Submit for Review". You'll see a confirmation screen letting you know your documents are with the review team, and that you'll be notified by email and in the app as soon as there's a result.

Most reviews finish within 1–3 business days. During this time, your status page shows "We're reviewing your documents" with a simple checklist: documents received, review in progress, and result pending. There's nothing else for you to do at this stage.

Once approved, your status page updates to show a green "Verified" badge, along with the date you were verified. Publishing, payouts, and the verified badge on your public profile are all unlocked immediately.

Occasionally a reviewer will ask for a clearer photo or a correction. This doesn't mean anything is wrong with your account. Your status page will explain exactly what needs another look, and clicking through takes you straight back into the flow with everything else already saved.
