Getting LPSG verified is a goal for many active members — the verified badge increases credibility, unlocks certain forum sections, and signals to other members that your account is authentic. This step-by-step guide explains exactly how the LPSG verification process works, what you need to prepare, how to submit successfully, and what to do if your application is rejected.
What LPSG Verification Actually Means
LPSG profile verification confirms that the real person behind an account matches the identity claimed in that account’s content. It is primarily relevant for members who post personal images or videos and want other community members to trust that the content is genuinely theirs. Consequently, verification is most impactful for active media contributors rather than members who participate exclusively through text discussions.
Verification is free, voluntary, and separate from email verification. Email verification is a basic account activation step that every member completes at registration. Profile verification is an optional identity confirmation that grants a badge and additional trust within the community. For a full explanation of the differences, read our guide on LPSG verified status.
Step 1 — Ensure Your Account Is Ready for Verification
Before submitting a verification request, your account must be in good standing. This means no active warnings, no current ban or suspension, and a verified email address. Additionally, having an established post history — at least several weeks of genuine community participation — significantly improves your chances of a smooth verification approval. Accounts with zero posts that immediately request verification are more likely to face delays or requests for additional information.
Furthermore, ensure your profile is complete before applying. A complete bio, profile picture, and active posting history demonstrates genuine community membership rather than a recently created account seeking the badge without participation. Use our LPSG Profile Score Analyzer to identify any profile gaps before you apply.
Step 2 — Understand What the Verification Photo Requires
The standard LPSG verification process requires submitting a photo that confirms the connection between you and your account. The photo typically needs to include a handwritten note showing your LPSG username, visible in the same frame. The specific requirements — whether a face must be included, what other elements are required — depend on the context of your account and what LPSG’s moderation team needs to confirm authenticity.
Importantly, think carefully about the privacy implications before creating your verification photo. Once you submit a photo containing your username and potentially identifying features to LPSG’s moderation team, that connection between your identity and your LPSG account exists in their records. Consequently, members who prioritise strict anonymity may prefer to remain unverified rather than submit identifying documentation. Read our LPSG privacy policy guide to understand what LPSG does with data you submit.
Step 3 — Find the Verification Request Option
Log into your LPSG account and navigate to your account settings. Look for a verification, identity confirmation, or verify your account option. Alternatively, look for a dedicated verification thread or contact option in the relevant forum section — LPSG sometimes handles verification requests through specific pinned threads in certain sub-forums rather than through account settings alone.
If you cannot find a verification option through settings or forum sections, contact LPSG support directly through the contact form on LPSG.com. State clearly that you are requesting profile verification, provide your username, and ask for the current submission process. Additionally, submitting your request through the most direct available channel rather than general support reduces the chance of your request being misrouted.
Step 4 — Submit Your Verification Correctly
When submitting your verification, include your username clearly in the handwritten note, ensure the note and required photo elements are in focus and legible, and submit in the highest quality your device allows. Blurry or illegible submissions are rejected and require resubmission, which adds unnecessary delay. Furthermore, submit everything required in a single message rather than multiple follow-ups — complete first submissions process faster than incomplete ones that require back-and-forth.
Do not submit multiple verification requests simultaneously. One clear, complete submission is all that is needed. Duplicate submissions do not speed up processing and occasionally cause confusion that slows the review.
Step 5 — Wait for Review and Respond to Follow-Ups
LPSG verification review typically takes a few days for complete, clear submissions. During high-volume periods it may take longer. Avoid following up on your submission before at least five days have passed — premature follow-ups clog the queue without helping your case. If your submission is rejected or requires additional information, LPSG will contact you with specific details on what is needed.
Once approved, the verified badge appears on your profile and you gain access to any additional sections your verification unlocks. Your account’s standing within the community improves immediately, and engagement with your posts typically increases as other members recognise the verified badge as a trust signal.
