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.

@peterdrake Your web page does too much javascript magic. Your link in question is not delivered in the plain html code, and even after javascripting, it is injected into the HTML as <div data-code="<a rel="me" href="https://qoto.org/@peterdrake">.</a>"> ... thats not parseable by any SGML parser.
I fear you'd have to ask Google on how to deliver some plain HTML on that page.
If you have your own domain, it's possible. I've documented it here:
