# How to verify your profile with a selfie?

Verifying your profile on Fruitz helps increase your chances of matching and builds trust with other members. It's quick, easy, and gives you a verification badge that will be displayed on your profile.

###### **Before You Start Verification**
To verify your profile, you must have **at least one photo of your face** on your profile.
At least one of your profile photos must meet the following requirements:
* You must be the **only person in the photo**
* Your **entire face must be visible**
* The photo must be taken **facing the camera**
* Your face must be **well lit**
* Your eyes must be **clearly visible**
* You must **not be wearing sunglasses**
* Photos with filters that modify or alter facial features are not accepted
* The photo must be in **portrait orientation** (vertical)

💡 **Why?** Because your verification selfie is compared with your profile photos to confirm your identity.

###### **A Few Tips Before Taking Your Selfie**
###### **📸 Optimise the Lighting**
* Choose a well-lit location (natural light is ideal)
* Adjust your phone's brightness if needed
* Avoid backlighting and glare

###### **👤 Make Sure Your Face Is Clearly Visible**
For your selfie to be successfully verified:
* Face the camera directly
* Make sure your entire face is visible and centred in the frame
* Remove sunglasses, caps, hats, or any other accessories that cover your face

###### 📱 Use the Correct Format
* Your selfie must be taken in **portrait orientation** (vertical)
* Selfies taken in **landscape orientation** (horizontal) will not be accepted

###### **Verification Selfie Privacy**
* The selfie used for verification is only visible to our internal teams as part of the verification process.
* It is never displayed on your profile and cannot be seen by other Fruitz members.
* If you would like your verification selfie to be deleted, you will need to delete your Fruitz profile.

###### If You Experience Any Issues
If your verification is unsuccessful, you can contact our support team directly through the app.
