Mastodon has a verification mechanism, though it looks different from Twitter's. We do not ask for your documents. Instead, if you have a website that you are known by, you can verify that you are the owner of that website.

Link to your Mastodon profile from the website, either through a visible link, or through a <link> tag in the head of the document, with a rel=me attribute, and link back to that page from your Mastodon profile. It should then get a green checkmark, like @Mastodon.

@Gargron I tried that with a link in one of the web pages I am linking to from my profile, but either I don't see my own checkmark or it does not work that way – and I have still missed something.
@atarifrosch I see it on your profile
@Gargron Oh, nice, thank you. Then it just hides before me. ;-)
