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 @Mastodon Does the back-link have to be on the top page? Or is it Ok to have it on a subpage?

(i.e. on a wordpress site, can the link be in a blog post?)

@steinarb The back-link needs to be on the exact same page that you link to from your profile.
@anathem Noted! Thanks for the info!
