Articles in this category What does the blue check mean? It confirms the artist’s identity or notability within the platform. How do I apply for verification? Go to Settings → Request Verification, upload ID proof, and links to official pages or past exhibitions. How long does approval take? Usually 5–7 days after document review. Can a fan account be verified? Yes, if it represents a recognized supporter organization or sponsor. Why was my verification request denied? Likely incomplete documents or mismatched name records. You can reapply after 30 days. Does verification improve visibility? Slightly—it boosts trust and search ranking but doesn’t override community engagement. Can I lose verification? Yes, if found violating rules or impersonating others. Are verified artists prioritized for brand collaborations? Yes. Many partner programs and events are open only to verified users. Can I appeal a suspension or rejection? Yes. Contact support@aidartists.com with proof and your account ID. Will AidArtists ever sell verification? No. Verification is earned, not purchased.
