What Is Dating Photo Verification and Does It Work?
Photo verification is a way to show that the person in a profile's photos is the person actually using the account.
How it works
A member submits a live selfie. A reviewer compares it with the photos on the profile. If they match, the profile is marked as verified.
What it proves, and what it doesn't
- It shows the profile photos likely belong to the person behind the account, which stops the most common fake-profile trick of stolen photos.
- It does not prove someone's honesty, relationship status or intentions.
- It is not a background check. Keep using good judgment and safety habits.
How 1n2mate does it
- Verification is optional and paid as a one-time $9 fee to cover the human review.
- After payment you upload a selfie and a person reviews it. We never mark a profile as verified automatically.
- Photos are re-encoded to strip location data, and you can delete your account and photos at any time.
Check a photo yourself
You can also run our free Validate check on any image. It looks at file details and compression patterns that can hint an image has been edited or reused. It's a screening aid, not proof.
