Can I use an expired ID for OnlyFans verification?
No, you cannot use an expired ID for OnlyFans verification. OnlyFans requires a valid, current government-issued ID. Expired IDs are not accepted. You need to get a new, valid ID before submitting verification. Make sure your ID is not expired, is government-issued, and all information is clearly visible. At TP MGMT, we help our creators ensure they have valid IDs before submitting verification.
What if my name on OnlyFans doesn't match my ID?
Your name on OnlyFans must match your ID exactly. If it doesn't match, you need to either: update your OnlyFans name to match your ID, or use the name that matches your ID. OnlyFans requires that the name on your account matches the name on your ID. If you've changed your name legally, you may need to provide additional documentation. Make sure all information matches your ID exactly before submitting verification. At TP MGMT, we help our creators ensure all information matches correctly.
Do I need to show my face in the verification selfie?
Yes, you must show your face clearly in the verification selfie. The selfie must show both your face and your ID clearly. Your face must be clearly visible, the ID must be readable, and both must be in the same photo. Good lighting is important, and no filters or editing should be used. The selfie is required to prove that you are the person in the ID. At TP MGMT, we help our creators take clear verification selfies that meet OnlyFans requirements.
Can I edit or filter my verification photos?
No, you cannot edit or filter your verification photos. OnlyFans requires original, unedited photos. No filters, no editing, no modifications. Photos must be clear, original, and show exactly what's on your ID and your face. Editing or filtering photos can cause verification to be rejected. Submit original, unedited photos only. At TP MGMT, we help our creators understand what photos are acceptable for verification.
What if I don't have a government-issued ID?
You need a government-issued ID to get verified on OnlyFans. If you don't have one, you'll need to get one before you can verify. Common government-issued IDs include: driver's license, passport, or national ID card. OnlyFans requires government-issued ID for verification—this is non-negotiable. If you don't have one, you'll need to obtain one from your government before you can verify and start earning on OnlyFans. At TP MGMT, we help our creators understand what's needed for verification.
How many times can I submit verification?
You can submit verification multiple times if needed, but it's better to do it right the first time. If your verification is rejected, fix the issue and resubmit. However, submitting multiple times without fixing issues won't help. Make sure you fix whatever caused the rejection before resubmitting. OnlyFans allows multiple submissions, but it's better to submit correctly the first time. At TP MGMT, we help our creators submit verification correctly the first time to avoid rejections.
