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 I love this (feels very small web), but it doesn't appear to be supported in the mobile apps. I'll go check the issue tracker and file it if it's not already there!
@cassidyjames @Gargron @Mastodon under Tusky it looks like this
@darckcrystale @Gargron @Mastodon yep, I’m aware, but Mastodon has an official app that should support Mastodon’s features. 😉
@cassidyjames @darckcrystale to be fair the android app is like 3 weeks old at this point so full features will probably take a while
