Hi all,

I am just wondering if you have noticed this new field called "Get your identity verified" on your Proz profile.

Is anyone aware whether this is a new process we have to undertake?

Thank you,

Nelly

I don't see it on my profile. Where exactly does it appear?

Screen shots May 2, 2018

Hi Tom,

I tried to attach some screen shots of this, hopefully they are visible.

I can see this when I go to Update your profile | View your profile.

It appears under "Identity".

Thank you

Ah yes May 2, 2018

Thanks Nelly

I see it now. I have no idea what it means or why it's necessary, but I clicked on the link anyway and provided the information required, only to be informed that I had done it already. I have no recollection of it. See attached image.

Does anyone know what this is about?

Having been through this just recently, I clicked to have my identity verified.
The first method is to become a member and pay with your credit card or PayPal. Since you're already a member, presumably Proz already knows who you are.

It's a bit misleading the way it's presented is all.

Identifies non-paying members May 2, 2018

Non-paying members have to wait before their comments are vetted. Although I've been a visitor for almost as long as Proz has been around, I had to wait for the moderators to get around to approving my posts. I paid a small fee via credit card to legitimize my identity.
